The latest in Denise Jordan Walker’s new look Candid Jazz & Conversations series (CJ & C) is bringing none other than contemporary jazz bassist Gerald Veasley to the Chicago area. Gerald, who was the music director for the late great Grover Washington Jr., runs a bass boot camp and his own Jazz club in Reading PA. His latest CD ‘At The Jazz Base’ was released in 2005 and if that wasn’t enough he is also a radio host at WJJZ 97.5 in Philadelphia. The unique forum that CJ & C provides will be the perfect setting in which to see him perform and to hear his story.
It all kicks off on Thursday, September 13th 2007 at the La Dolce Vita Jazz Eatery, 5721 Melton Rd, in the Miller Beach section of Gary Indiana. A VIP Reception is scheduled from 6:00 to 7:00pm, general seating commences at 7:00pm and show-time will be at 8:00pm. The cost will be $30.00 per person, which, in common with most CJ & C events, will include a copy of Gerald’s CD. For tickets please RSVP without delay to [email protected].
