Airborne Jazz plays cool jazz, island music, swing, bebop, and Latin jazz. The music takes you back to another era in time but also keeps you right in the groove. It will have you smiling, singing, swaying, or just closing your eyes enjoying the afternoon. Airborne Jazz will be entertaining for our Accreditation Celebration on Monday, June 26 at 3 p.m. We are also celebrating our volunteers. Everyone is welcome. Bring a chair if the weather is nice and enjoy this afternoon celebration. If the weather is inclement, we will move inside.
