"Burnin' jazz and hot barbecue" will await you on Sunday, May 6, when the Brooklyn Musical School (BMS) is hosting its fundraiser Struttin' With Some Barbecue. The event will not only help to support the BMS jazz department, it's also chance to enjoy the down-home feel of southern food, swinging music and jazz community that will make anyone think they've been transported straight to New Orleans.

World-renown drummer and instructor Dr. Victor Lewis will be performing this Sunday, May 6.

The afternoon, beginning at 3:00pm, will feature performances by all three of the BMS Student Jazz Ensembles, the BMS Jazz Faculty Ensemble, and an appearance by the world-renowned jazz drummer Dr. Victor Lewis. Lewis's dynamic drumming style and musical personality have supported influential jazz luminaries from Dexter Gordon and Woody Shaw to David Sanborn. He co-leads the groundbreaking band Horizon with Bobby Watson and has been on faculty at Rutgers University Mason School of the Arts for over 14 years.

The Brooklyn Music School views music and performance as the birthright of all people, an essential way that human beings connect with others and explore their creativity. The school is dedicated to making high-quality musical instruction approachable and affordable to a wide range of students, as well as creating frequent opportunities for performance for the students and cultural enrichment for the community.

The fundraiser will benefit the jazz department, its programs, workshops and students.

Contributions will help the BMS jazz department by providing support for its Summer Jazz Workshop, the Middle School Jazz Festival, as well as scholarships for deserving students who would otherwise not be able to participate in our programs.

Let's get jazzed for a good cause!
