Jazz In the Gables

Wednesdays is the most daunting day of the week; because Mondays have drained you of life and Fridays are too far in the future to lift your spirits… That’s until the Jazz in the Gables concert series came along. Put a little hoodoo into your humpday from January through April. Piano priests, drum doctors, and saxophone shamans cast musical spells that compel you to evacuate the office and liven up your lunchtime. For five consecutive seasons, The Miami Jazz Cooperative has summoned a cast of entertainers that includes the likes of the buoyant Brian Murphy Trio, flashy FIU Jazz Ensemble, and nouveau New World School of The Arts’ Jazz Quartet. For those who can’t make midday escapes, there are occasional soul-​shaking performances Sunday afternoons. Make music part of your weekly ritual at 12:15 p.m. each Wednesday.
