The Knoxville Jazz Orchestra’s 2018-19 concert season continues on Tuesday, November 13th, at 8pm with “Nursery Rhymes Reimagined”. The program will be held at the Bijou Theatre at 803 South Gay Street.

Vocalists Kelle Jolly and Aaron Mastin join the band for selected numbers on this special treat for kids of all ages.
