The next Russ Spiegel Jazz Orchestra concert will be at the Gershwin Hotel on August 11th. This time we will feature the talented vocalist Dennis Jeter on a number of specially arranged big band tunes.

As always, showtimes are 8 and 9:30pm. Tickets are $15 (less than a buck a musician, only in New York!). Come for the first set, stay for the second. The Gershwin is still trying to get its liquor license so it's BYOB.
