Mendocino Stories and Music Series "Braet and Brown Duo" February 18, 2012

On Saturday, February 18, Mendocino Stories and Music Series will feature Nightclub Night, a monthly event in which the ballroom at the Hill House Inn is transformed into an urban Dinner and Jazz Club. Enjoy a candlelit dinner and conversation as the Braet and Brown Duo plays light music. As the evening progresses they will switch to classic improvisational jazz. Music starts at 7:30PM.

David is a New Orleans native, has a Masters in Music from UNO, and in 1991 moved to Fort Bragg, CA where he began playing with many local bands here including Safe Sax, Pura Vida, Phil Lawrence,  Danny Barca, Mambo This and led the traditional New Orleans Jazz and Hot Swing Band, The Big Easy Jazz Band. For the last several years David has performed with the Krewe of Sound, his own group playing jazz-rock fusion and original music that covers everything from Dixieland to the avant-garde.

Jack Braet is a graduate of North Texas State, and brings an inspired hipness to his clarinet, saxophones and flute playing that delighted audiences at Ledford House for many years. Jack has also played with many local musicians such as Bob Ayres, Ira Rosenberg, Terry Simcik, and was also a featured member of the Big Easy Jazz Band and is also a vital part of the Krewe of Sound.

Everyone is welcome, whether to dine, dance or just to listen. Doors open at 6:30 PM with a dinner prepared by Executive Chef, Robert. Full bar. www.mendocinostories.com/events.html
