Birth of the Cool: An Evening of Sophisticated Jazz

Come lounge and drink with us in cool 40's style! In the 1940’s and 50’s, mellow jazz musicians on the West Coast developed a softer, relaxed alternative to swing and bebop that came to be known as the “Cool Jazz” style. Grab a cocktail and chill with the Lakeside Pride Shhh…OUT! Jazz Ensemble, Strayhorns combo, and Wilde Cabaret singers, enjoying laid-back, ‘cool’ classics stirred up with contemporary arrangements in the same vein. $10 advance/$15 at the door www.lakesidepride.org Highlights from the program: Boplicity, as performed by the Miles Davis Gil Evans Nonet Take Five, by Dave Brubeck Paranoid Android, by Radiohead
