August 29, 2012 By Ron Gable Leave a Comment

Happy August 29th; the great jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker was born on this day in 1920.

What is the Dayton Art Institute?

Founded in 1919, The Dayton Art Institute is one of the country’s premier fine arts museums and a major asset to our fair city. In addition to exhibiting outstanding special exhibitions and impressive collections of art from throughout the world, the museum is renowned for education programming that includes an array of offerings for diverse audiences.

The Dayton Art Institute also hosts concerts, family and youth programs, classes, social events and more. Of most interest to local jazz fans is the Vectren Jazz & Beyond series, upcoming on September 6 they will present the Rob Dixon Quartet. The local Dayton Public School radio station, WDPC 89.5-FM provides their disc jockeys, on a rotating basis to help MC these events.

Vectren Jazz & Beyond showcases some of the best and brightest local and regional jazz performers … and more! Performances take place on the first Thursdays of March – June and August – November (no performance in July). All performances are 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the intimate setting of the museum’s Shaw Gothic Cloister.  Admission is FREE for museum members and $8 for non-members. Cash Bar is available for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and hors d’oeuvres. Tickets may be purchased at the museum the night of the performance.
