Free Jazz Concert at Metro Sponsored by TCC Library

TCC Library celebrates Jazz Appreciation Month with free concert
by Natalie Manke, Library Assistant II

Rebecca Ungerman

In April 2002, the Smithsonian Institution kicked off its first month-long celebration of jazz with a weekend full of concerts performed by the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra. 

The Smithsonian, as well as schools, colleges, and libraries across the country have been celebrating jazz each April ever since. 

Jazz Appreciation Month has done well in its mission to “draw greater public attention to the extraordinary heritage and history of jazz and its importance as an American cultural heritage.”

In honor of Jazz Appreciation Month, TCC Library is bringing local jazz singer Rebecca Ungerman to perform a free concert 11 a.m.-1 p.m.  April 22 in the Metro Campus Student Commons.

Ungerman has been voted Urban Tulsa’s Absolute Best of Tulsa Female Vocalist as well as A-List Favorite Stage Performer. She has headlined the Little Rock Blues Festival and opened for Little Richard at the Cain’s Ballroom. She is also involved in numerous other projects, from solo cabaret productions to musicals, and performs regularly at S&J Oyster Co. and the Phoenix Café.  Ungerman's YouTube channel is youtube.com/user/beckabeltsjazz.

 

Stop by one of the library’s four locations and one of our friendly staff will be happy to assist you if you would like to learn more about jazz. And join us for the free jazz concert.
