I See Jazz People

Department of Things to Do. I've been seeing signs around town about Jazz @ Glendale but since I'm always driving when I see them I couldn't gather the details. Still it sounded cool so I was glad Ohio.com had a little article about it today because I would have forgotten all about it otherwise. A jazz concert in a old cemetery seems like a fun way to spend my Saturday evening. From their press release:

Jazz@Glendale features a variety of jazz bands located at selected sites within the grounds of Glendale Cemetery, an intact example of a 19th century picturesque rural cemetery. This informal evening of music includes the The Howard Street Blues Band, Jack Schantz, Groupo Brazil and the Bobby Selvaggio Quintet. A trolley will provide transportation within the cemetery- or visitors may stroll the grounds. Glendale Cemetery is an extraordinary venue for a warm summer evening of hot jazz and cool blues!

I'm totally there. Here are more details:
