Treat your Valentine to a Jazz Sampler for Sweethearts, an evening of sweet and hot big-band music with singers Sheryl Adams and June Joplin at Comma Coffee in Carson City on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Comma Coffee, 312 S. Carson Street, is across the street from the state legislature building in Carson City. General admission is $5 at the door; free for age 18 and under.
Jazz Sampler for Sweethearts features the 19-member Mile High Jazz Band presenting jazzy versions of favorite love songs for Valentine’s Day, and other swinging, big-band selections. Highlights of the evening include “Besame Mucho,” My Funny Valentine, and “The Touch of Your Lips.”
The performance is funded, in part, by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
