Masters of jazz

Arts Council of Baton Rouge and River City Jazz Coalition team up to bring back the acclaimed River City Jazz Masters series, starting with Grammy Award nominee Kurt Elling at the Manship Theatre. The Chicago-based crooner has a new record out this year, but his baritone voice is just as rich as ever. Tickets to see this legend of the jazz world range from $25-$45. Thursday, 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Visit manshiptheatre.org for tickets. (Photo courtesy Christian Lantry)
