NOTICE FROM KEITH CLARKE:

I regret to inform you that due to insufficient funds, the Alice Day Band concert at Miami Tower, originally scheduled for Wednesday, May 8, has been CANCELED. I extend my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this cancellation and by the very late notice. I take full responsibility for my irresponsibility. This is the first time that I have had to cancel a concert in the six and a half years since I first introduced a jazz series to Miami Tower, and I intend it to be the last.

In lieu of the concert, I will be showing the documentary film Lady Be Good: Instrumental Women in Jazz from 7:00-9:00 pm. I recognize, of course, that even the best of films cannot compare to a live performance by an artist of Alice Day’s caliber. But I do hope that the film will be of interest to our loyal audience of jazz enthusiasts.

Thank you for bearing with me, and I hope in time you will forgive me for this cancellation and for the short notice.

Sincerely,

Keith Clarke
Managing Director

“Aspire to inspire before you expire”

Jay Johnson’s obituary was in The Miami Herald on March 27, 2013. You can read it here.

Below is a photo of Jay hard at work in Miami Tower’s Sky Lounge in November 2012.

Thanks for all you did for us, Jay. You are greatly missed.

Today we received the tragic news that Jay Johnson passed away on January 5.

Jay was our previous Social Media Coordinator, working diligently to take photos at our events, update the website, manage email communications, and send out announcements to the press. He touched many people with his warm and generous spirit.

Rest in Peace, Jay.

We are in the middle of Women’s History Month. So this Tuesday, March 19, please join us for a powerful documentary that highlights some inspiring individuals in Africa and Asia who are fighting for basic human rights for women and girls. See calendar page for full details.

Unfortunately Yvonne Brown is not able to make it tonight. But we still have a great jazz concert planned. The Gary Thomas Ensemble will be playing, and special guest vocalist Lisanne Lyons will also be featured. Come and enjoy some wonderful music!

Please note the following schedule change:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, next week’s double feature, The Goodbye Girl & Claudine, will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 20—not Tuesday, Feb. 19 as originally scheduled. Future film screenings will still be held on Tuesdays as usual.

Please note:
Until further notice all our Miami Tower concerts will be in the auditorium on the 19th floor (not the Sky Lounge).
