My Pick Jazz Concert for the Christmas Weekend
I should take a moment to wish a happy Kwanzaa to anyone who does celebrate that holiday. Sadly that is a holiday that tends to get the short shrift. A lot of people roll their eyes and look down upon it. I will confess, I have done so myself. But still, who am I to judge anyone their holiday and celebrations? It certainly doesn’t seem to harm anyone and the values that surround it seem like good ones. So, whatever holiday you may be celebrating, I hope you have a great one.
Below is something lifted from WDCB’s website and is my pick for the show to see this weekend. I am a big fan of the Velvet Lounge and its owner and proprietor Fred Anderson. The man himself is playing tonight and I think if you are looking for something to do, this would be the thing to do.
Three Jazzy Woodwinds: Fred Anderson, Ari Brown, Rich Corpolongo Ensemble
