"Love is in the Air this Black History Month"

We want to thank everyone who braved the cold and snowy elements to attend our last performance - Jazz is Instrumental to Black History Month. Those in attendance I'm sure could appreciate the extraordinary level of jazz displayed that night by members of the Ed Jackson Quartet.
