PipJazz Sundays at the Landmark Center, Weyerhaeuser Auditorium, is a new jazz venue hosted by Pippi Ardennia, a Chicago born jazz/blues singer and songwriter residing in St. Paul, Minnesota, who co-produces the series with drummer/manager Glenn Swanson. In addition to Pippi, the concert series features local guest performers as well as the core ensemble of Peter Schimke, piano; Billy Peterson, bass; Jimi Behringer, guitar; Glenn Swanson, drums; and (when available) Ricky Peterson, keyboards/Hammond organ.The intention of this collaborative production effort was to create another venue for jazz music in the Minneapolis/St Paul area - an opportunity to share with the community the rich, world-class jazz talent resident ih the Twin Cities as well as to establish a home for Pippi's incredible talent and love for music which is nothing short of infectious. The intention to provide a family-friendly, a space where children and parents could comfortably attend, fit well with the 240-seat Weyerheauser Auditorium, a beautiful, warm, theatrical space located in the lower level of the Landmark Center. The concert series was launched June 12, 2011.
