Saturday, October 31, 7-10pm -Circular Jazz
Jazz is unleashed upon the world in a battle for the ages! Watch as predictable melodies and restrained solos are torn apart beneath the hooves of these four harbingers of jazz.
If this is to be the end of days, you may as well enjoy it. Splurge a bit and have a good meal, donate $20 to the band and put on a ridiculous costume that may earn you a prize and the admiration of many.
You’ll want to reserve a table or spend time in purgatory waiting for a seat.
Peyton Pleninger – tenor sax
Joel Harrison – guitar
Rich Syracuse – bass
Bob Meyer – drums and cymbals
