THELONIOUS MONK INSTITUTE OF JAZZ
Who says the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control isn’t hip? Get this: when officials from New Orleans-based Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz planned to take its Peer-to-Peer jazz education program through Utah, they contacted the head of DABC to see if they couldn’t finagle a closing-night gig at Ogden’s Wine Cellar (which is, of course, a private club for members 21 and over). Now, mind you, this was the first time the Institute had run into any kind of road block. Formed in response to recent nationwide cuts in public-school budgets (which nix extracurricular activities, including P.E. and music classes), the nonprofit organization launched hands-on, college-level training to kids across the country. This week, six particularly gifted jazz students from Chicago’s Gallery 37 Center for the Arts will join saxophonist Antonio Hart and vocalist Lisa Henry for a weeklong workshop culminating in a performance tonight for the general public. Thanks to the DABC’s rare display of generosity, this concert will take place at the Wine Cellar, with the underage musicians playing upstairs in a temporarily alcohol-free zone. Apparently, the DABC head is a huge jazz fan. Take advantage of this rare break in form and marvel at the mad skills of artists following in Monk’s footsteps. The Wine Cellar, 2550 Washington Blvd., Ogden, 8 & 9:30 p.m. Info: 801-399-3600
