Electric Violinist Ken Ford Sparks Off Season
ATLANTA (July, 2009) — Live It Up this summer with Live Jazz in the Gardens as Villa Christina celebrates the 6th annual Summer Jazz Series. Escape the city’s heat and hustle; allow the cool, smooth jazz transport you to nirvana. The sultry al fresco musical evenings are presented by C3 Marketing and Villa Christina. Adam
Ghali, General Manager of Villa Christina, states “our guests have
really enjoyed the past six years of live jazz, and this years’ line-up
is incredible. We love hosting the outdoor jazz concerts here. The
series is a relaxing and festive way to spend time with family and
friends, enjoying live jazz, terrific food and refreshing beverages
outdoors. The outstanding entertainment combined with a gorgeous
outdoor setting and incredible food is a temptation too strong to
resist!”
Three
complimentary outdoor concerts will be performed in the gardens on
select Sundays in the late summer and early fall. Extraordinary
electric violinist Ken Ford lights up the night as the music series kicks off on August 30th.
A dynamic and electrifying performer, progressive musician Ford has
released 3 CD’s and continues to jam with notable artists such as
Wyclef Jean, Wayman Tisdale, Laylah Hathaway and Ledisi. Rapidly rising
star Ford will electrify the audience with his original, funky,
eclectic musical style, so catch him while you can! On September 20th, listen and be amazed by national rising stars Jaspects, described as “redefining all aspects of jazz” and special guest, soulful songstress Tammy Allen opens. Grammy nominee Dionne Farris, formerly with Arrested Development, builds the series to a crescendo on October 18th.
Doors open at 4:00 p.m. and music begins at 5:30 p.m. Concertgoers should bring blankets or lawn chairs for comfortable seating. Children
