Chill out to smooth jazz Sunday

Already tired of Christmas carols? Craving jazz over jingle bells? Enjoy a live performance by “Jazz Nurse” Betsy Braud and Company at Mid City Ballroom on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Seasoned local music fans may recall the edgy venue M’s Fine and Mellow Café, which operated for a few years back in the nineties out of the gone-to-seed Fonville Winans photography studio at the corner of Laurel and 7th Streets. After taking an extended break from hosting live shows, M’s founder Marian Pickett is now teaming with Mid City Ballroom owner James Fogle for an occasional series called Miss M Presents. The inaugural show kicks off this Sunday with jazz flutist and saxophonist Betsy Braud and Company. Braud, an M’s Fine and Mellow Café regular, is a prolific performer and former student of Alvin Batiste. The show promises a break from “what Mariah wants for Christmas.”

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Mid City Ballroom is at 136 S. Acadian Thruway. Buy tickets here.
