Our One Book, One Mesa County was off to a great start on January 24th. Thanks to those of you who attended! Jazz trombonist and Assistant Professor of Low Brass at CMU, Sean Flanigan, described the jazz club settings and sounds of the late 1930's. While Sean played several recordings, he also provided us with his knowledge and insight - describing the differences of music meant for high-society gatherings, that meant for dancing, and that of small, intimate club nightlife. Sean also described the importance of improvisation to jazz, and how jazz has evolved. To learn more about jazz, pick up
CD's, DVD's, or books here at the Library, and get immersed in the sound. You can also check out
Amor Towles' website, for a playlist selected by the author.
Meanwhile, One Book is just getting started. Join us Sunday afternoon at 1:30 for the first movie showing in our series. On Tuesday, the 31st, join us at 6:00 pm for a fashion show, highlighting vintage pieces that characters in the novel would have worn. If you believe one great polka dot dress can change everything, this program is for you! You can pick up a complete list of programs at any Library. Or, from our
Events page, choose "One Book" from the category menu.
