Mile High Jazz Band Presents Autumn Jazz With Singers Jakki Ford and June Joplin
As the days grow short, the Mile High Jazz Band is preparing "Autumn Jazz," a program of big-band music with vocalists Jakki Ford and June Joplin, on Tuesday, October 13, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Comma Coffee, 312 S. Carson Street. General admission is $5 at the door; free for age 18 and under.
Among the tunes planned for the program are "Early Autumn," as a nod to the fall season; "Sweet Georgia Brown," long associated with basketball's Harlem Globetrotters; "The Heat's On"; and "Whodunnit?," the band's tribute to Halloween.
Autumn Jazz is part of World Music Days, an annual global event affirming the ideals of tolerance, friendship, and shared humanity, inspired by the life and work of journalist and musician Daniel Pearl. The performance also commemorates National Arts and Humanities month, a coast-to-coast recognition of the importance of culture in America.
