Local jazz musicians Chelsey Bennett and Craig Paterson are organizing a series of musical events in Peterborough for International Jazz Day on Thursday, April 30th.
So far, events include live jazz during dinner time at four Peterborough restaurants (Mike Francis and Neal Davis at Dolce Vita, The Lazy Devils at Curry Village, Mike Graham and Dennis Pendrith at Brio Gusto, and Pete Woolidge and Federico Pontani at The Shish-Kabob Hut), an evening concert featuring the Mike Murley Trio at The Junction, and a late-night jazz jam session at The Black Horse Pub.
The organizing committee will provide more information about what’s planned for International Jazz Day on Wednesday, April 8th, when City of Peterborough Mayor Daryl Bennett will officially proclaim April 30th as International Jazz Day in Peterborough.
The April 8th event takes place from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at The Venue Lobby (286 George St. N., Peterborough). It’s open to the public and there’ll be live jazz and hors d’oeuvres.
Events celebrating jazz will take place in other cities all around the world, including Paris, Milan, New York City — and now Peterborough.
