Autumn Jazz: Mile High Jazz Band With Jakki Ford at Comma Coffee
Enjoy an evening of big-band music with vocalist Jakki Ford at Comma Coffee on Tuesday, Oct. 11, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Comma Coffee, 312 S. Carson Street, is across the street from the state legislature building in Carson City. General admission is $5 at the door; free for age 18 and under.
The program, Autumn Jazz, presents the 17-member Mile High Jazz Band playing favorite and new big-band songs. Some highlight tunes of the evening will be "A Night in Tunisia,” featuring trumpeter Wayne Theriault, and “Basically Blues,” originally written for the Buddy Rich band. Jakki Ford will sing “That Old Black Magic,” “The Nearness of You,” and other great tunes.
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.
