Jazz is in the Air (Hartford Advocate)

Hartford´s storied jazz scene will get a welcome blast of fresh air this Thursday when talented vocalist Lindsey Muir gives her pipes a workout at the grand opening of the Mezzanine, a glamorous 1940s-style jazz lounge in the renovated G. Fox Building.

Muir, a relative newcomer to the music world, made a splash in August during her performance at the acclaimed Litchfield Jazz Festival where she launched her debut album You´re Nearer - Love Songs of the ´30s & ´40s . Joining Muir will be Hartford-based musicians, Dezron Douglas, Craig Hartley, Ben Bilello and the New York-based tenor saxophonist, Albert Rivera. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the music will commence at 7:30 p.m.

The Mezzanine is located at 960 Main St., Hartford. (860) 524-9590. Free and open to the public. --A.B.

(note: you/we missed the date, but the venue seems promising enough to put it on your entertainment to-do list.)
