 Jazz @ the Library
Jazz On Fire: Jazz Inspired by Fahrenheit 451
Featuring a discussion by Les Nunes
Tuesday March 16th 2010 - 7:00 PM
- Woodard Park Regional Library
Jazz artist and educator Les Nunes will present a concert of jazz compositions from the 1960’s during the time Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451. The music, some original, presented will mirror the themes and plots of this influential book. This Jazz @ the Library event coincides with The Big Read 2010, an event coordinated by the Fresno County Public Library.

Support for Jazz @ the Library comes from the Community Enrichment
Program, administered by the Fresno Arts Council and from the Fresno
