Flushing House to Host 'Jazz Up In The Sky' on 9/12

Live Jazz will be heard throughout the evening on Friday, September 12, 2014, as a group of legendary musicians bring their love and concern for the elderly to new heights on the rooftop of Flushing House in Queens!

"Jazz Up In The Sky" takes place up on the roof at Flushing House, New York State's largest, not-for-profit, "Independent Living" retirement community, located in Flushing, Queens. This live jazz extravaganza is a special fundraising dinner/dance/concert, to benefit the 300 older adults who call Flushing House home.

Headlining the evening's performers is world-famous and Grammy award winning jazz hero Hernan Romero. The Hernan Romero Group has featured some of the world's great guitarists, including Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin. This group infuses the exotic traditions of flamenco-gypsy, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean folk music, with sounds of classical, jazz and Latin rhythms. Composer and guitarist Hernan Romero's music is famous for its sensuous, passionate, romantic and inescapably infectious sounds.
