The following was submitted for publication on behalf of The Living Desert:

Get ready to journey into jazz at The Living Desert for its 31st season of the Jazzoo Concert Series, featuring five great shows. The first performance is Sunday, January 11th and is the “Big Band Celebration on the Patio” from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Guests can gather with friends, along with members of The Living Desert community, as it celebrates more than three decades of jazz music. Concert goers are welcome to bring snacks and wine to enjoy while reveling in the sounds of some of the best jazz musicians and ensembles in southern California. And all proceeds from the series benefit The Living Desert’s mission of desert conservation.

“We look forward to this series every year, it is a great way to invite jazz enthusiasts for a truly unique experience at the zoo and gardens,” said Allen Monroe, President/CEO of The Living Desert. “This year’s series include some entertainers that are new to the Valley, but all of the performances feature the best musicians and singers in jazz today.”
