What a surprise when the group broke into playing Happy Birthday.

 

It was no surprise that Menelik jumped right in playing along.

Menelik was only surprised when Nozomi Yamazaki brought a surprise Birthday cake to the stage.

Union Jazz at The Monroe Art Walk

The sound of hot rods rumbling at the traffic light intertwined with the base and drums of Union Jazz playing in the Loft at the Art Walk overlooking the square of Downtown Monroe N.C.

 

 

Curious  visitors followed the sounds of music streaming from the open windows above, curious of it’s origin.

Delighted, they found teenage youths playing Jazz led by David Basri and Dennis Contreras.
