In Home Jazz Concerts comes to Ft. Greene, Brooklyn

Inspired by “Jazz Hostess of Harlem,” Marjorie Eliot who began her Parlor Entertainment Jazz Series in her home on Sundays in 1992, In The Moment Productions founders, Jim Morehand & Dave Polazzo have begun hosting semi-monthly jazz sessions in the intimate comfort of their 1860's row house in Brooklyn's historic Ft. Greene district on February 23, 2002.

We are offering our home as a venue for jazz musicians to play, sing, jam and swing, surrounded by the contemporary works of art on display by NYC artists. There are so many talented, professional jazz musicians in this city who have played with the best in the field, but most people don’t know their names or style of playing. We are doing our part to change that. Here, people will be entertained in an intimate home setting while surrounded by the artwork of current local artists (avail. for purchase). We offer a piano on site and refreshments between sets. Artist’s works will be displayed for a two-month period and are available for sale. The $10.00 donation at the door will go toward future Parlor Entertainment, In The Moment jazz series, which, in part, pays the musicians and provides the refreshments. There will be two sets with an intermission to allow the guests to mingle and meet the musicians/artists. Our roster of interested and wonderfully gifted jazz musicians and artists continues to grow.

Next performance: March 16, 2002, Set times: 8:00 pm – 8:45 pm & 9:15 pm – 10:00 pm Alva Anderson, vocalist/jazz violist (appeared with Dizzy Gillespie, Barry Harris, Tony Bennett & Carmen McCrea)
