Join us at Spangalang Brewery for a special evening of music and remembrance as we present “A Tribute to Purnell Steen with The Five Points Ambassadors.” This heartfelt concert celebrates the life, legacy, and musical brilliance of the late Purnell Steen, one of Denver’s most beloved jazz ambassadors. A legendary bandleader, pianist, and mentor, Steen dedicated his life to preserving and elevating the rich jazz heritage of Denver’s historic Five Points neighborhood—often called the Harlem of the West. As the founder of The Five Points Ambassadors, Steen brought together some of the city’s finest musicians to keep the spirit of jazz alive through soulful performances rooted in tradition, culture, and community.

This special tribute will feature The Five Points Ambassadors performing a soundtrack of timeless jazz classics in honor of Steen’s enduring influence and musical legacy. Guests can enjoy an unforgettable night of live music while indulging in Spangalang Brewery’s award-winning BBQ, craft beer brewed in-house, and signature cocktails. Tables are available to reserve for premium seating and service, giving guests the best view of the stage and a first-class experience. Located in the heart of Five Points, Spangalang is Denver’s #1 destination for live music, food, culture, and craft beer, making it the perfect place to celebrate the sounds and legacy of one of the neighborhood’s true musical icons.

This event is free, or you can reserve a table!
