Ernie Krivda, Legendary Jazz Musician, Playing This Afternoon at the Lakewood Public Library

Seeing Ernie Krivda as a solo artist changes everything.

He brings his full range of his influences into every performance — including tonight's show at the , where he will be accompanied by guitarist Bob Fraser.

"The audience that comes to the library is there to really listen to music," Krivda said. "I also enjoy playing in a setting where the communication is intimate and that is the case at The Lakewood Library."  

The program was originally set for June 19, but the show was moved up. A flier circulating at the library said that the show just couldn't wait.

And with good reason.

Krivda combines jazz and blues swing together with classical cadences and small flecks of folk music. 

The show, sponsored by the Friends of Lakewood Public Library, is set to begin at 2 p.m. in the library auditorium.
