Jazz Vocalist Ann Mitchell To Help Launch “Dinner and a Show” Program At The Terrace At Delaware Park

As the summer began to wind down, Jason Davidson of the Terrace at Delaware Park started thinking about how to keep the enthusiastically engaged diners and brunch-goers happy with more entertainment. After almost two years of pandemic-related difficulties, it was a welcomed problem to think about. The Terrace and JazzBuffalo mulled over what to do. Jason echoed the thought “what people really seem to like is dinner and a show and I’ve always wanted to do that for them. It would be great to offer live music, cabaret, theater, and comedy in our beautiful Pan-Am room.”

One thing we knew we needed was a piano. JazzBuffalo went on the hunt for one. Lo and behold, a baby grand piano became available for purchase and the rest was underway. The “Dinner and a Show” program was sketched out and will be located in the beautiful Pan Am Room overlooking Hoyt Lake. Plans call for the build-out of a raised stage and the installing of the piano.

JazzBuffalo has enjoyed a nearly five-year partnership with the Terrace and could not be more excited to partner once again with “Jazz in the Pan Am Room” programming. The first event is scheduled for Friday, November 5th beginning at 6:30 pm with music starting at 7 pm. We will be bringing a special guest jazz artist to Buffalo to help us celebrate. Jazz vocalist, Ann Mitchell, who has earned accolades as one of the finest jazz vocalists in the Central Region of New York State and beyond, will perform this evening.
