Mile High Jazz Band to perform Tuesday

The Mile High Jazz Band with singer Jakki Ford will perform from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10 at Gina's Good Life Music & Lounge, 507 N. Carson St. the Carson Nugget.

Admission is free; suggested donation is $10 per person for the band.

September Jazz features the 17-member band playing old favorites and new swinging, big-band selections, including "Evergreen," "I Can't Stop Loving You," "Children of Sanchez," and more. Jakki Ford will sing "Come Fly With Me," "Out of Nowhere," "Give Me the Simple Life," and other great tunes accompanied by the band.

David Bugli, pianist and leader of the Mile High Jazz band, said, "I am excited to bring the band back to Gina's. We had to skip our usual "second Tuesday" performance at Gina's in August to focus our energy on the very successful Jazz and Beyond Festival held from August 16^th through the 26^th. Now we can concentrate on one performance at a time."

Mile High Jazz Band performances and educational activities are supported in part by grants from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, Carson City, Music Performance Trust Fund, and by memberships and donations.
