An enchanted evening at the Deering Estate

Last night, The Debbie Orta Jazz Quartet perfomed to a sold out crowd as part of the 5th Annual Summer Cabaret Concert Series. The dim lights in the historic 1922 Stone House Ballroom set the intimate mood for the evening. The extremely personable and stunning Debbie Orta performed two sets of jazz standards and Brazilian Jazz and even returned for one more song after a standing ovation. Each member of the quartet was remarkable with their instrument - Jim Gasior on piano, Nicky Orta on Bass and Carlomagno Araya on drums.

If you missed this concert, don't fret! The Series continues throughout the summer with Sitar Player Stephan Mikes on July 26th and Jazz Vocalist Dana Paul on August 30th. Tickets are only $20 a concert (what a deal!) Be sure to purchase your tickets early because seating is limited and concerts usually sell out.
