An Evening of Jazz & Love Songs

One of the best things to come to Alameda CA is the Rhythmix Cultural Works on Blanding Avenue. It hosts a multitude of events --- art shows, short plays, music, dance and more.

On Friday, February 3 at 8 pm, they’re featuring the Kelly Park Trio for an Evening of Jazz and Love Songs.

The first time I wanted to see them, my partner Gary wasn’t too enthused because jazz ain’t his thing, and love songs? Puh-leeze!

But as we sat there in this cozy theater where every seat is a great seat, and Kathy Moehring started to sing sentimental favorites and Kelly Park played the piano in his inimitable style, Gary’s feet started tap-tapping, and he was smiling. Aha! I knew then that if I invited him to another such event, that he’d go.

Lucky us....

There’s one coming up. So if you are looking for classy entertainment on budget, here’s one you should check out.

This is an evening of genuine classic love songs that engage the heart and walk you down memory lane.
