Mile High Jazz Band presents ‘Pi(e) in the Sky’ Tuesday

The Mile High Jazz Band will be joined by singer Jakki Ford and seven award-winning poets and readers for "Pi(e) in the Sky,” an evening of big-band jazz and poetry on Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. at Gina's Good Life Music & Lounge, inside the Carson Nugget.

The music is free, donations are welcome. "Pi(e) in the Sky” features the 17-member band playing swinging songs in the Pi, Pie, and Sky theme of the evening.

Poets and readers are Rita Geil, Terri Breeden, Ursula Carlson, Wayne Carlson, Krista Lukas, Susan Sara Priest, and Timothy Rhodes. Each poem relates to the theme, open to several interpretations, and is followed by a related tune, several featuring Ford.

Mile High Jazz Band is supported in part by private donations and by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts.
