On Sunday Sept.11th, the place to be will be the Cutting Room when VTY Jazz Arts presents another Sunday Serenade tribute to the legendary tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan. The doors open at 3:30 P.M. and the music starts at 4:00 P.M. Two sets of great music for one music charge in a room that lends itself to great listening.
