Mile High Jazz Band presents 'Now Cut That Out' - An Evening of Big-Band Jazz and Poetry
The Mile High Jazz Band with vocalists Cindee LeVal and June Joplin will be joined by seven poets and readers for "Now Cut That Out," a lively evening of big-band jazz music and poetry.
The event will be on Tuesday, June 9, 7:00-9:30 p.m., at Comma Coffee, 312 S. Carson Street, across the street from the state legislature building in Carson City. Admission is $5 general and free for age 18 and under.
The program will open with the Mile High Summer Jazz Camp Ensemble, a youth jazz band led by Nick Jacques. The poetry, beginning at 7:30 p.m., will be read by Rita Geil, Terri and Sophia Breeden, Joe Crowley, Tracy McQuay, Amy Roby, and the Nevada winner of the 2015 Poetry Out Loud competition, Dominique Groffman. 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.
