Jazz Night – Big Top

Remember when the circus came to town? Families would be entertained by a slew of curiosities – animals doing tricks, games that were impossible to win, feats of strength and focus, and LOTS of interesting people hanging around. Jazz 2.0 and the ISU Jazz Combos pay tribute to this lost piece of Americana by playing music whose song titles recapture vivid memories of our youth. Tunes by Brad Goode, Craig Cammell, Rick Henderson, John Ellis, Bryan Lynch, Peter Bernstein, Mary J. Blige, Erroll Garner, The Tiger Lillies, and Grizzly Bear. Join us on November 18th @ 7:30 for Jazz Night : Big Top

Admission is $10 for the general public. ISU students and youth under 18 are free. Tickets can be purchased at the door prior to the performance.
