The Katonah Museum of Art invites you to enjoy an early summer evening of art and jazz with the second Shades of Jazz concert of the new season. As curator for the series, legendary guitarist John Scofield presents some of the brightest talents in jazz today and jams with them at the end of each performance in the Museum's Sculpture Garden.
Join John Scofield on Wednesday, July 15, as he welcomes two modern masters of soul, Eric Krasno and Nigel Hall. The intimate concert begins at 6:30pm. Admission is $10 for members, $20 for nonmembers, and includes complimentary beer and wine. Along with chairs and blankets, guests are invited to pack a picnic dinner to enjoy during the performance. Wm Nicholas & Co. (www.wmnicholas.com) in Katonah is offering special gourmet picnic baskets that may be reserved by calling (914) 232-1949.

Guitarist and producer Eric Krasnos is a virtuosic powerhouse in the jazz, funk, and hip-hop communities.
