The ticket price of $28 includes a full dinner buffet, dessert and a beverage. A cash bar will also be available throughout the evening.
The program begins at 6:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour featuring Jazz 3. The buffet will follow at 7 p.m. with music by Jazz 2. Capping the evening will be performances by Jazz 1 and the new Jazz Combo ensemble featuring works from Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis, Thelonius Monk and more. We'll also have some Edison alums as celebrity guest emcees!
