Nights at the Neptune is an expression of local awakening— artists and audiences coming together to celebrate culture and community in a series of free performances.
The MoodSwings Jazz Band celebrates the lives and work of women who have been pioneers in the jazz genre. From Lil Hardin and Sister Rosetta Tharpe to the International Sweethearts of Rhythm and Maria Schneider, the contributions of female blues/jazz composers and performers have often been overlooked, but groundbreaking, nevertheless.
Featuring the works of Mary Lou Williams, Melba Liston, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and others, this presentation represents a historic gathering of female musicians, stunning songs and painstakingly collected media.
