And maybe some of the big-stage stars will show up and join in. Many jazz legends have played on La Fontaine’s small ‘after-hours’ stage, including Ben Webster, Wynton Marsalis, and Lady Gaga.
This Sunday, master drummer Andreas Fryland will be leading the music throughout the evening.
Anything can happen during a jazz performance, and La Fontaine is the perfect place to experience it.
