All That Jazz In Town Tonight

Posted by Shaun Harvey on June 5th, 2008 6 Comments

Thursday Night in Charlottesville Offers Plenty for Jazz Heads:  Jive Katze, John Carden and Greenwich Swing Time, and John D’earth

Jive Katze As we have mentioned in previous posts, Thursdays are truly fantastic evenings to experience live jazz here in Charlottesville.  Tonight is no exception as there are two fantastic shows on tap for jazz lovers featuring three equally fantastic bands.

John Carden PublicityKick off your evening at the Gravity Lounge as the Jive Katze, featuring Jenn Rhubright on vocals and Gerritt Roessler on piano, open up for John Carden and Greenwich Swing Time, which will feature Humberto Sales of Beleza Brasil on latin guitar.  Showtime is at 7:30pm and the cost at the door is $10.

By the time the show at Gravity wraps up, you’ll have plenty of time left to head up and check out the Thompson D’Earth Band, as the all-star line-up of Charlottesville jazz musicians, featuring local legend John D’earth on trumpet, continues its Thursday night residency at Miller’s.  Showtime is at 10:30pm.  No cover.

[As an added bonus, let me throw out a third scheduled performance as the One Giant Step Quartet Granville Mullings Project performs from 8 -11pm tonight at enoteca.  No cover.  Are you jazzed yet?]

    Thanks Shaun and Chartreuse! Obviously I recommend the Jive Katze. The “one giant step quartet” is actually now called “The Granville Mullings Project” due to change in personell. And boy, who has ever heard John Carden with his, let’s call it “rock,” repertoire will understand that tonight will be a special treat. (only reason I am bragging about Jive Katze is because somehow the “Find Me Here” posts disappeared)

    byard….thanks for the info. I’ll make changes to show Granville Mullings

    the Find Me Here post disappeared with the appearance of the Charlottesville Events listing. (I figured since folks can now email spacerambler with their upcoming events for the calendar, there was no use repeating)

    To add an event to our Charlottesville Events listings email spacerambler@spicybear.com

    Oh, I understand that. I was just trying to point out that I am aware that recommending one’s own shows is tacky…

    Thanks again!
