Love Songs & Chocolate Martinis

Vocalist Nancy Scimone delivers lush and lively jazz standards, Latin-influenced tunes, an occasional French song and always a few happy surprises. Tunes by Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, Jobim, DC's own Duke Ellington, Piaf and Trenet. Scimone, who has entertained at the Kennedy Center, Twins Jazz, the Carlyle Club, 49 West and Smithsonian National Zoo, sparkles on the intimate stage of the Blue Bar Lounge. Harry Appleman at the grand piano. The hip and cozy Blue Bar Lounge at the historic Henley Park Hotel offers classic cocktails, extensive wine selection, shareable small plates and desserts, such as tuna au poivre and pear bread pudding, extensive wines, and yes -- Chocolate Martinis! Every Saturday. 7:30 – 11:00 pm. No Cover/No Minimum. On-street parking, Metro.
