Key Elements: A Latin Jazz ensemble
Details
Key Elements is an all-female band consisting of five musicians with decades of experience performing with assorted groups, playing Latin and Brazilian jazz (original compositions and classic pieces) on piano, sax, percussion, bass, and drums. Meetup members caught this group about a year ago at this same venue and really enjoyed them, so I'm up for seeing them again :)
EVENT COST: $1.00 donation to the Meetup organizer (that's me!) to defray my hefty Meetup fees ... plus the cost of the show ticket (about $22 in advance online with the venue's service fee)... If the show doesn't sell out in advance, you can also buy a ticket at the door shortly before showtime for $20.
TICKET INFO: Buy your own tickets.
SEATING: General admission, mainly on couches, in a casual, pleasantly funky, coffeehouse-type setting

HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, 5 feet tall, in my 60s, with short, wavy, salt-and-pepper hair, and glasses. (See my photo with my Meetup profile.) I'll send my cellphone number and more info to RSVPers prior to the event. PLEASE TEXT ME IF YOU DON'T SPOT ME.
OPTIONAL PRE-SHOW DINNER: Prior to the event date, please let me know if you're interested in eating at Tender Greens (on University near Shattuck) prior to the concert. (No food or drink is sold at the Back Room, but you are free to BYOB.)
