The Clarksville Jazz Sessions continue each Wednesday night, 8:00-10:00pm,
at Cipollina Italian Grill. Harold McMillan and Martin Banks host
an evening of jazz standards, blues, and ballads featuring live
performances by some of Austin's best vocalists and instrumental
soloists. Past special guests and featured soloists include Steve
Geraci, Suzy Stern, Hope Morgan, Rich Harney, Marty Allen, Glen
Rexach and others.
This series is part of DiverseArts ongoing mission to present jazz
programming to Austin audiences and provide performance opportunities
for local artists. Cipollina provides an intimate, comfortable setting
for listening, dining, and up-close interaction between artists
and audience. Early performance hours make these Wednesday evenings
highly accessible -- great for a night of listening and fine dining,
a first stop for a night on the town, and perfect for those who
have to go to work or school the next day.
The hallmark of the series is, for the first time, neighborhood
residents will not have to leave Clarksville in order to experience
our city's live music cultural offerings. For McMillan, who 15 years
ago founded the Clarksville Jazz and Arts Festival, this series
is simply an extension of his original vision: to regularly produce
live jazz in the heart of one of Austin's most diverse and unique
neighborhoods.
