Denton Live Jazz to enjoy this week
By Kathy Edwards McFarland and Mr. Joe Pinson
First – to clarify an ongoing mystery … the cover charge for University of North Texas Student Jazz at the Gateway Center. A message from John
Murphy, chair of the Division of Jazz Studies, reads: “The cover for the Wednesday night series at the UNT Gateway Center is $4, except when it’s the One O’Clock Lab Band, in which case it’s $5.”
Thanks for the skinny, John.
Moving forward, tonight has an excellent line-up for local Jazz … and so to the rest of this lovely Autumn week.
