Love jazz? Come hear the music (dancing, too)

 Tired of straining to hear the music above the bar crowds? Columbia is about to get a new, true listening room. Mark Rapp will kick things off on Tuesday, January 17th, from 7 to 10 p.m. when he brings ColaJazz artists Nick Brewer (keys), Sam Edwards (bass), Chris Church (percussion) and Amanda Mayo (vocals) to So You Want To Dance Ballroom. The focus will be the music of Chet Baker. Great acoustics and a great dance floor (bring your dancing shoes!). Plenty of free parking. The $10 cover ($8 for students) includes a beverage and snacks (feel free to BYOB). So You Want To Dance Ballroom, 554 Meeting Street, two blocks from the Gervais Street Bridge.
