Although it’s been five decades since the then-teen band started playing local stages with their angular, spiky tunes, The Executives still deliver an energetic show well worth catching for punk fans of all stripes.

On July 11, Dizzy’s will host a special tribute to photographer and jazz bassist Michael Oletta, who passed away earlier this year. Oletta was known to local jazz listeners as the founder of The Now Time Quartet, also featuring pianist Adam Wolff, violinist Alicia Previn, and drummer Jeff Dalrymple, but it’s with his camera that he made his greatest impact. In 2021, he released a book, “Jazz In The Moment,” collecting images from his 40 years of attending concerts, a wonderful showcase for the gifted photographer. While there is no music planned at this event, there will be a display of Oletta’s photos, and numerous music luminaries will be on hand offering remembrances. This is a nice opportunity to say goodbye to one of San Diego’s biggest jazz supporters.
