Jazz will be represented by a Dixieland tune, “Dixie Has Landed,’’ and “Glenn Miller in Concert,’’ a big band-style chart that includes “Little Brown Jug,’’ “At Last,’’ “Chattanooga Choo-Choo,’’ “Pennsylvania 6-5000’’ and “Moonlight Serenade.’’
Jack Bullock’s “Places US’’ will give the band the opportunity to offer a musical journey from New York to Los Angeles.

The concert is free. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. Learn more by visiting the band’s site at http://charlottesville municipalband.org.
