JASON JOSEPH’s story reads like a Coen brothers movie...he was born in Des Moines, Iowa, America’s heartland, the son of Indian immigrants from Kerala, a coastal state with a large Christian population in southern India.The AM radio introduced Jason to the music that would shape his own artistic vision. From Marvin Gaye to Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash to Donny Hathaway, these voices, intermingled with the tabla and dhol of India, melded into a stylistic gumbo that shaped his sound as a writer and singer.After attending college at the University of Florida and Berklee, Jason moved to Los Angeles to pursue the dream. In L.A., he quickly became integrated into the independent music scene performing regularly at the Temple Bar, Molly Malone's, and the Libertine. His singing quickly caught the attention of songwriters and producers, and Jason was soon singing on tracks for Hollywood Records, Warner Brothers, and the Cartoon Network while also delivering show-stopping performances alongside the likes of Missy Elliot, Akon & Erykah Badu.Through all of this, he was writing the songs that have become his first studio album, Out Of My Mind: Side A. Produced with the help of Charlton Pettus and Ryan Freeland, Out Of My Mind: Side A captures this young artist at the peak of his creative powers, assimilating the sounds of his childhood into a strong personal statement.Out Of My Mind: Side A is at its core a soul record – it speaks straight from the soul and instantly touches the heart with songs covering issues from love to politics, despair to hope. With one of the great soul voices of our time, Jason Joseph has made a work that would have seemed impossible 10 years ago...a soul record by an Indian singer from the heartland of America. Things change.

The American dream came true for Catalina Popescu in October of 1986 when she and her husband Bob created a supper club devoted to serving an experience of superb eats and the shared magic of live performance. That grand experience began at the door where every night her mother Maria would greet each guest as family and share in their love of music. Housed in Hollywood and decked out in a timeless charm, the club offers a cozy ambience under sparkling stage lights garnished with its signature concoction — Jazz. The first artist to grace the stage was the masterful flutist and saxophonist Buddy Collette, and ever since then, over the past 36 years, the Catalina Jazz Club has hosted the most illustrious legends of all time — from the powerful puffers of Dizzy Gillespie to the electrified fingers of McCoy Tyner, the bubbly belt of Dee Dee Bridgewater and Lynda Carter, the flirtatious saxophone of Joshua Redman, the slick strumming of Kenny Burrell, the insane drum clinic of Steve Gadd, the romance of Steve Tyrell, and the masterclass of Mike Stern. For Catalina, Jazz is our way of life. It breathes pain. It knows love. It dreams hope. It bleeds courage. Whether we’re showcasing Broadway, Soul, R&B, or stand-up comedy, the lesson learned from all the greats who have serenaded our spirits is how to connect to one another. And that’s why the Catalina Jazz Club will always have a table ready for you. The Catalina Jazz Club has been honored by A.S.M.A.C., California Jazz Foundation, Los Angeles Jazz Society, and a City of Los Angeles Certificate of Appreciation on their 25th Anniversary, which was awarded by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the LA City Council which included then City Council member and current Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
