[May 12]
Come to a Free Big Band Concert and Open House this Saturday at the Community Center of Mendocino.
The 20 piece Boonville Big Band led by Maestro Bob Ayres, is featuring many classic jazz and swing gems for a Spring Afternoon of entertainment: Shiny Stockings, Gone With the Wind, Manhattan, Angel Eyes, Jersey Bounce Poor Butterfly, Yardbird Suite and more. Song stylist Sharon Garner is the featured vocalist. The music will be in the air. See you there!
About “The music will be in the air”: There was a time when live music used to be heard around Mendocino Town on a spring day. Mostly played by individuals in courtyards, doorways and alcoves. I understand that music carries, especially Big Band, and probably will be heard by people all over the town. However, If you are nearby, you’ll get to see the band in full and hear some amazing playing up close. Also partake of BBQ and see art exhibits and demonstrations by local kids. Hope to see you there!
Big Band @ CCM, in Mendocino, Sat., May 12, 1 pm. (CCM, 998 School St., just below Friendship Park.).
