Beowulf hosts a few jazz gigs
Tucson, Arizona Published: 05.20.2007"

Beowulf Alley Theatre has this cozy little space in Downtown Tucson. Perfect for plays ("Of Mice and Men" is playing there these days).

But it's also quite a cool spot for jazz, which may be why Beowulf is hosting a few jazz gigs these days, dubbing them "BeBop Meets Broadway."

At 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, you can catch the smooth sounds of jazz singer Debbie Lun, who breathes life into torch songs and scat. She's performing with musician Tony Frank, who has played with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Mantooth, Carl Saunders, Shirley Horn and Mike Vax; and keyboard player Lamont Arthur, who lists composer, arranger and producer among his accomplishments.
Beowulf Alley's at 11 S. Sixth Ave. Tickets are $25. Call 882-0555.
