Holiday Jazz in the Crescent Room with John Burnett & his Bluesette Quartet

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.
