    very sorry for Jazz. It must be very hard especially around age eleven when boys start coming into your life and you want to date.

    Butts Jazz Concert Report The concert I decided to go to was held in Valley Brewing Company. The event was called “Take 5‚ Jazz at the Brew”. I went to the show July 11‚ 2013.

    a better understanding of jazz as not only an art form‚ but as a culture. The audience was the first thing I noticed when entering the venue. Most of the attendees were middle-aged and Caucasian. They were dressed in casual but nice clothing. It was not a formal event but no one was wearing tennis shoes are gym clothes. I also noticed that alcohol was being served with light refreshments. This contributed to the relaxed and casual environment that I expected of a jazz concert. I also spoke with
