The Fifth Annual Winter Jazz Night sponsored by the Beach Dads Club will be held on Feb. 11 from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Hall, 401 Highland Ave. in Piedmont.
This rousing evening of music and dancing features Mingus Amungus, an all-star Jazz band founded ...by Beach Dad Miles Perkins. The all-star seven piece band weaves its way through Mingus' intricate charts with a great mix of be-bop, funk and classical. The band then sprinkles San Francisco's native Hip-Hop Jazz flavor into the mix with a variety of lyricists, thereby bringing Mingus' work into the contemporary age. Recognized with a 1997 BAMMIE award for Most Outstanding Jazz Club Band, Mingus Amungus is a noted festival favorite and a must-see act.
Delicious food, donated by Butterfly Restaurant (owned by Beach dad Rob Lam), is included in the ticket price. Drinks will be available for $5. Tickets for this adults-only event can be purchased online for $50 before Jan. 31 or for $65 after that date.

Don't miss this great evening – its one of the best night’s out in Piedmont.
