Today’s newsletter is presented by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s Wild And Swingin’ Holiday Party.
Hello, Uptown!
I’m always on the hunt for jazz.
Listening to the genre is one thing but watching it love is a completely different experience. Don’t believe me, or don’t know what I’m talking about? Go see it for yourself tonight from 7 to 10 p.m.
We Are Here Now has been hosting monthly jazz nights dubbed “Wine Down Jazz Out” at Mixed Grounds in North Park. Their very own local band includes Travis Gooden, JayWalkr and SaxSouljah.
What better way to support the raw talent in our city by taking in the sweet sounds of jazz, blues and R&B? It’s too easy — stop by even for a moment just to take in the atmosphere.
And if you’re wondering what’s up with the series title— they’ve got some good deals going on, as in $5 wine specials. And, you surely shouldn’t drink on an empty stomach, so San Diego pop-up legend Good Boy Pizza will be there to supply the za.
Like I said, 7 to 10 p.m. at Mixed Grounds North Park, be there tonight.
Speaking of fun… and wine. The fine folks over at Winyl Club — the once regular community meetup spinning vinyls and sipping wine in our parks, which was shut down by the city — now have their very own bottle. LA-based Wonderwerk Wine has released a limited edition sparking Pinot Noir with San Diego’s finest wine and vinyl club.
The moral of the story for today’s newsletter: Wine pairs best with some smooth bass lines.
