Good news for local jazz lovers.
Adding to the already successful Thursday night jazz concerts at the Nexus, Jazz Night at Lakeside Manor begins Tuesday, Oct. 15 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
This Tuesday night features the Shujazz Trio, comprised of Sandy Cameron on sax, Dan Smith on guitar and Bill Lockie on double bass.
“We picked out tunes we think will be fun to play and hopefully fun to listen to, and we can always make space for dancing,” says Cameron, noting Jazz at Lakeside Manor will take place on the first and third Tuesday of every month. “We’re hoping to present various groups, something different each time.”
