Check out some information on an upcoming show at the Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road.

From officials at the center:

Jim Burge and the Jazz Directions will present "Good Vibes" at the next Jazz with Jim concert on Friday, July 8 at 7:30pm at the Carrollwood Cultural Center with guest musician Cole Hazlitt.

A high school student from Clearwater, Hazlitt appeared with Burge and the Jazz Directions at the Center in 2010.  

Enrolled in the music program at Tarpon Springs High School, Hazlitt plays vibes (vibraphone) and drums with the Ruth Eckerd Youth Jazz Band and was formerly a drummer for Sonny LaRosa’s America’s Youngest Jazz Band. He will perform on the vibraphone during his July appearance at the Center.

Jazz with Jim is a monthly concert hosted by local musician and former Hillsborough Community College instructor and Director of Music, Jim Burge. The concert is best known for fusing personal stories by the musicians with popular jazz tunes suited for that month’s theme. In addition to the personal stories, patrons can purchase home baked goods donated by the Center’s volunteers, which help complete the intimate ambience.

Tickets to Jazz with Jim are $8 for members and $12 for non-members and may be purchased at the Center's Box Office.
