Settle in for a standout holiday edition of Jazz in the Crescent as John Burnett and his Bluesette Quartet return to newly renovated Crescent Room at Chez Zee. John — known to many from his years as an NPR correspondent — brings his blues harmonica chops with Nick Davis on bass, guitarist Andrew Baird and Benito Brajkovich on that famous red piano. Together, they'll deliver a rich blend of jazz standards, blues favorites, and warm seasonal tunes. For this Mistletoe & Musicmaking performance, the quartet will mix seasonal selections with their signature swing and blues style — not all Christmas, but all in the spirit of the holidays. The evening also features select vocal highlights from Margaret Justus, adding an elegant lift to the room. It's Dinner and a Show Doors open at 6pm.
