We are excited to return to the Crystal Ballroom with the local greats Grand Slam Jazz Band on Saturday, October 1st!!! This venue is beautiful, so we’re hoping and encouraging everyone to get all dolled and dappered up! There will also be alcohol available at the bar at this venue, so that is something different, please be sure to tip the staff, and enjoy the beverages in moderation.

The Grand Slam Jazz Band is a local band put together by the amazing Justin Meyer and features the vibraphone. (If you’re not familiar with this instrument, check out some Lionel Hampton recordings on your favorite music streaming service. We’d recommend Hampton’s Jivin’ the Vibres or Till Tom Special for starters.)
