This Week: Jazz Concerts Swing Into High Gear

The soulful voice of Jann Parker will fill the Englewood Public Library on Wednesday for the weekly summer jazz concert series.

"If you are a jazz aficionado and like the vocal styling of Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday and Nancy Wilson, you should put Jann Parker on your list of extraordinarily talented jazz vocalists as well," one reviewer swooned.

Check out her CD "Masterpieces" here and check out the show Wednesday night from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The jazz doesn't end on Wednesday.
