Art on the Corner presents an evening of ‘Crime Jazz’
“Crime Jazz” sounds like a music category like “Gangsta Rap” but it’s actually the name of a unique show that will be presented in Bay Ridge this month featuring music associated with crime and criminals.
The show is being presented by Art on the Corner, the arts program at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 7420 Fourth Ave., on Saturday, April 25, at 8 p.m. The concert will take place in the Soul Café, a venue located in the church building.
The concert will include the theme songs of 1950s detective shows written by composers like Johnny Mandel, Henry Mancini and Nelson Riddle, as well as new arrangements of rock songs such as Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” and Aerosmith’s “Janie’s Got a Gun.”
“Crime Jazz” will mark the return of Jazz Nite at Art on the Corner.
