Mile High Jazz Band presents 'Oh, Say Can You C?' an evening of big-band jazz and poetry
The Mile High Jazz Band with vocalists Jakki Ford and June Joplin will be joined by six poets and readers for "Oh, Say Can You C?," a lively evening of big-band jazz music and poetry.
The event will be on Tuesday, June 12, 7:30-9:30 p.m., in the courtyard adjacent to Comma Coffee, 312 S. Carson Street. In case of rain, the event will be inside Comma Coffee. Admission is $5, free for age 18 and under.
The poems will be read by Rita Geil, Wayne Carlson, Krista Lukas, Susan Sara Priest, Timothy Rhodes, and Amy Roby. Some of the poems are originals by the readers. Each will be followed by a big-band tune that relates to the poem.
This event is supported in part by public funding through a grant from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information, call the Mile High Jazz Band at 775-883-4154, or visit the web site: MileHighJazz.com.
