A free jazz concert July 28 drew hundreds of music lovers to the 20-acre Nature Discovery Park in the Aliante master-planned community. Featured at the event was Mimi Fox, an award-winning artist who recently released her seventh album, a two-disc set titled, "Perpetually Hip."
A seasoned player, Fox has performed with fellow guitarists Charlie Byrd, Charlie Hunter, Stanley Jordan and Kenny Burrell, as well as with Grammy award winners saxophonists Branford Marsalis and David Sanchez and Manhattan Transfer's Janis Siegel, saxophonist Don Lanphere, Hammond B3 organ virtuosos Barbara Dennerlien and Dr. Lonnie Smith, and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington. She has shared the bill with a wide array of artists, including Abbey Lincoln, Diana Krall, Stevie Wonder and John Sebastian.
"We're pleased to continue bringing free concerts, featuring top-quality musicians to the Southern Nevada community," said Dan Naef, senior vice president of North Valley Enterprises, the developer of Aliante. "As Aliante grows, so does the scope and popularity of the outdoor events presented here throughout the year."
The concert is part of the city of North Las Vegas Starlight Music Series, of which Aliante is a major sponsor.
