Tomorrow night is Live Jazz Night at O. Henry Hotel from 6-9pm. Since 2015, this event has been a weekly occurrence on Thursday nights. You can listen to music while having a drink and small tea-time style foods to nibble. The core musicians for O. Henry Live Jazz are Dave Fox, Neill Clegg, and Matt Kendrick.* Their repertoire includes sounds from the 1950s and 1960s- especially swing, and Brazilian jazz. Now that it is getting warmer and staying light longer, the mood is really lively.
Every week the trio of jazz instrumentalists invites a singer to join them. This past week the audience was fortunate to get to listen to Jessica Mashburn. Jessica works full time as a musician. You will see her everywhere from Furniture Market in High Point to community events in downtown Greensboro. If your organization needs a musician who can work in just about any genre, encourage them to hire Jessica. Jessica is very good at entertaining along with singing. And, as you can tell from the above photo, she always dresses the part from head to toe. And, she makes hats if you ever need one. The above yellow hat is amazing, as is Jessica and the jazz trio. Head to the social lobby tomorrow night from 6-9pm. Jazz vocalist Lori Williams will be there to delight audiences.
