FREE event -->> Women in Jazz & World Music Graduation Concert

Women in Jazz and World Music (WJWM) is a free concert / recital led by Dee Spencer on keyboards with Jewell McMillon on bass, Jay Hernandez on drums and Michelle Jacques as Mistress of Choirs.

The occasion is the graduating event for Dee’s students from the second Women in Jazz & World Music vocal training course. The vocalists will give their renditions of classic songs originally covered by the likes of Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone.

NOTE: This event will apparently be a mix of singing and historical remarks from guest lecturers. On the Event page itself, it's described as lasting 90 minutes without an intermission, but on the Ticket page, it's listed as being one hour long -- so I've compromised and listed it as 75 minutes long (LOL), at least until I can possibly get more info.

The event itself is free, but I ask attendees for a $1.00 donation to offset the $180.00 per year that Meetup charges me as head organizer.
