⏰ Just 24 hours until an unforgettable night of jazz at UrbanBeat!

Tomorrow evening, internationally acclaimed saxophonist Walter Blanding and his Jazz Ambassadors take the stage for a powerful tribute inspired by Dizzy Gillespie's legendary masterpiece, A Night in Tunisia. A longtime member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Blanding has performed alongside jazz greats including Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, the Count Basie Orchestra, and more.

Grab a drink and settle in for an evening filled with world-class musicianship and the timeless energy that made Dizzy Gillespie one of jazz's most influential innovators. A Night in Tunisia remains one of the most celebrated jazz standards ever written and helped define the bebop movement.

And to open a truly awesome show, join us at 6 PM inside UrbanBeat to enjoy local musicians for Open Mic or enjoy live music from a patio performer Dave Mingis!

If you love live music, great musicians, and nights that remind you of the beauty in jazz, this is one you won't want to miss.
