Please note: Based on the overwhelmingly positive response to our August 3 Jazz Under The Stars performance presented by Cadillac, we are pleased to announce that the August 31 performance with Eric Darius and Gerald Veasley Band has been moved to the Presser Foundation Stage in our TD Pavilion at the Mann. 
 

Your feedback has been instrumental in this decision, and we are excited to bring back this unique, on-stage, in-the-round jazz club experience enhanced by excellent acoustics in an intimate setting. 
 

All tickets purchased for the originally scheduled Crescendo tent performance will be honored on our stage in the same theater-style seating and table formation as those initially purchased at the Mann. TD Pavilion at the Mann is fully covered, ensuring everyone can enjoy the performance comfortably in this artful setting with the artist and audience together on stage.
