Baritone Madness at Lolita's Lounge

Lolita's Lounge, 1413 9 Avenue SE, Calgary

Baritone Madness returns with another all new concert for you on Friday February 7, 2020 at Lolita's Lounge. This band has been making waves since we released our album at the end of September with three consecutive months at #1 on the Earshot Jazz charts (October, November & December 2019).

For this concert we've got some fun new arrangements for the band including one of Pat Belliveau's from his 1997 release that hasn't been played in far too long. Also on the plan is an arrangement of another Charles Mingus song, Oscar Peterson's "Blues of the Prairies", Dizzy Gillespie's "Manteca" and more to be decided soon.

Cover is $15 cash at the door. Call and make your reservation as soon as possible, but there's always room so come on down with or without a reservation. All ages are welcome.
