Jazz Legacy Project: A Tribute to Johnny Mercer
Wednesday August 5, 2026 at 7 pm
Live at Red Clay
Tickets: https://eddieowenpresents.freshtix.com/events/jlpmercer
Our monthly Jazz Residency - each installment is a tribute to a different jazz legend!
What is the Jazz Legacy Project?
Created in 2015 after an epiphany Justin Varnes had while teaching Jazz History at Georgia State University, the JLP has an ongoing residency at the Velvet Note jazz club in Atlanta, where they have been selling out their performances for 6 years and counting.
Ditching a traditional textbook in favor of playing records and telling stories about the artists to college kids who knew little or nothing about jazz proved to be a big success. It turned out that performing the artist's music and telling their stories in between proved to be an even bigger success.
