 TONIGHT'S(!) Jazz Live will be in conjunction with our World Cultures program here at City college and will bring the Otmaro Ruiz Quartet to the Saville Theater. It will also be a celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month; so we do hope you can make it down to see it in person and celebrate with us. If so, please use the parking pass. You can reserve tickets in the Speakeasy to reserve your spot. Even though the show is free to all, the show is bound to sell out so reserving your tickets is highly recommended. Downbeat is 8PM, tickets must be picked up by 7:30PM. Please call 619-388-3743 for more information. |
