Jazz in the Bowl is a free outdoor concert sponsored by Highland Park Conservancy welcoming friends and neighbors to the Highland Bowl on South Avenue. Bring your lawn chair and settle in to enjoy the concert. The New Horizons Jazz Ensemble led by Don Sherman will be first up. Their "big band" format features brass, reed, and rhythm sections and is part of the Eastman Community Music School. After a brief intermission, the Mid-Century Modern Jazz Quartet will take the stage. These four musicians play with subtlety, elegance, and a swinging beat – it’s all about lines and phrasing. There will be free popcorn at the concert and wine sampling from Casa Larga Vineyards. All in all, a great summer evening of music.
