This month, we’re paying tribute to Fusion Jazz, a variation in modern jazz which occurred during the late 1960s and was popular throughout the 1970s, melding jazz and rock into a truly unique American genre. Our playlist includes Miles Davis, Weather Report, Chicago, Return to Forever, Blood, Sweat & Tears and many more.
Last Saturday of the month
from 8-10pm.
