Ocean Drive Promenade: LeNard Rutledge and Jim Gasior Quartet

Gather oceanside for an open-air concert featuring Lenard Rutledge alongside the Jim Gasior Quartet, on Sunday, April 21 at the Ocean Drive Promenade Music Series, a free weekly concert series presented by the Ocean Drive Association. Pack a picnic blanket or lawn chair to stake out your seat on the lawn. Showtime is at 5:00 p.m.

This performance is presented as part of The Betsy’s 12th annual Overture to Overtown Jazz Festival. As a tribute to Overtown’s history and legacy, The Betsy has been holding its annual Overture to Overtown Festival for nearly a decade featuring live jazz, poetry readings and talks. The festival celebrates the historic connections, between South Florida jazz and the National historic jazz circuit, that brought stars like Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday, Duke Ellington and many others to perform in Overtown (aka Harlem of the South).
