The Pine Grill Jazz Reunion celebrates the outstanding jazz tradition here in the neighborhood at the former Pine Grill, corner East Ferry and Jefferson. The African American Cultural Center just around the corner on Masten is helping to sponsor the event. I'm certain that the life of recently departed "Dodo Greene" - remembered by Buffalo Bloviator, right here - will be celebrated. Read more about the life of Dodo Greene, here via Uncrowned Queens.

This Sunday and next in MLK Park...4-9pm...
