JAZZ NIGHT IN SWDC

Westminster Presbyterian Church every Friday night. "Jazz Night in Southwest" offers three hours of some of the best jazz music in the District -- for just $5 admission.

Jazz Night began in January 1999 when Earl Banks, a jazz musician, drummer and singer, met with Brian Hamilton, one of Westminster's pastors. Banks was looking for a venue where local jazz musicians could play the music they loved. Hamilton, and his wife and co-pastor Ruth Hamilton, were looking for a way to reach out to the black community of SW -- and so Jazz Night in SW was born.

There's food in the basement -- and boy is there ever! It's cooked and served by Southwest Catering, a catering business set up by the Hamiltons as part of a development initiative for low-income residents of SW.

For more information, call 202-484-7700. Westminster Presbyterian Church is located at 400 I (Eye) Street, SW. The nearest Metro stops are L'Enfant Plaza and Waterfront-SEU. Admission is $5, children under 16 are free. Food is served from 6:00 - 8:30 pm.
