Summer in Honolulu is Hotter than Ever with Free Live Jazz
Summer is finally here, and we all know what that means … vacation! Hawaii anyone?
Tanning oil, iced coffee and the inevitable sunburn (which we clearly could have avoided had we nixed the oil) have all worked their way back into our daily routines. And we don’t know about you, but when we think summer, the first thing that comes to mind is music. Great music. Outdoor rock concerts, a little bluegrass if you’re feeling sentimental, or even some “Glee”-tastic karaoke (stop rolling your eyes … you know you love it).
But for us, nothing hits the spot like some sweet jazz. Jazz lovers (like ourselves) should take particular note of some fantastic jazz events coming up this July in none other than one of the top vacay (that’s right, we just said vacay) hotspots – Honolulu.
On Thursday (and every Thursday), July 1st, Jazz Minds on Kapiolani Blvd. will feature top-notch live jazz performances from The Bentos starting at 9:00 PM, and let us tell you, this is something you do not want to miss.
On Friday, July 2nd, the Black Sand Jazz Trio will be playing at Chuck’s Cellar on Ka’iulani Ave. from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m., and – get this – it’s FREE! That same night, Dot’s Restaurant in Wahiawa is hosting “Friday Night Jazz” from 7:00 – 11:30 p.m., and being that this event is also free, it’s going to be a tough call to choose between the two. If you ask us, well, don’t. Check out both. Why not? Two jazz venues, one night, and you leave your wallet at home. Could Honolulu get any cooler? Unless we’re talking about the weather, we’re going to say “no.”
Are you a jazz fan like us? Are you a “Friday Night Jazz” regular? Tell us about it (and we’ll probably see you there)!
