On Sunday, August 17 from 4–6pm, East Rock Creek Village is hosting a live jazz concert at the Marketplace Plaza at The Parks at Walter Reed. It’s a Summer Celebration of Music & Community, an open-air afternoon of live music, connection, and summer joy. Enjoy a free performance by jazz singer and native Washingtonian James Keith Zimmerman accompanied by a five-piece band. Steeped in the time-honored tradition of the great jazz vocalists, Zimmerman’s voice has been described as like that of a horn, and his performances are presented in an original, authentic style. He evokes the spirit of the masters who have inspired him—artists such as Jon Hendricks, Oscar Brown Jr., Sarah Vaughan, Eddie Jefferson, Bill Henderson, Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, and Al Jarreau. Zimmerman’s repertoire includes the best of jazz standards, blues, bebop, swing, Broadway musicals, and Bossa Nova.

The concert will take place at The Parks at Walter Reed Marketplace Plaza (Georgia Avenue & Dahlia Street NW) across the street from the new Whole Foods Market. We’ll have seating of seniors and light refreshments will be available. Bring a friend, a folding chair, and your love of great music! Parking is available on nearby streets or in the Whole Foods Market garage (enter on Dahlia St) with a validated ticket.

Free & open to all! Register for Jazz on the Plaza to help us plan. For more information, email  info@eastrockcreekvillage.org or call (202) 656-7322.
