Plenty of amazing May events to enjoy in Queens
BY TAMMY SCILEPPI
“It’s hot. It’s cold. It’s
sunny. It’s rainy. The
weather is so random
these days. Luckily,
Queens fun is predictably
awesome with Latin dance,
improvisational jazz, some
one-person plays, and
sculpture,” said Queens
Economic Development
Corporation Tourism
Director Rob MacKay.
“Life is a lot like jazz… it’s
best when you improvise.” –
George Gershwin
Remember those
legends as you celebrate
international Jazz Day at
Resorts World Casino, April
30 at noon. Cool jazzy sounds
are piped throughout the
casino with video montages.
Then, listen to the Masahiro
Sakuma Trio play some raw
riffs reminiscent of Louis
Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie,
and others at Bar 360.
During Jazz Happy Hour (3
to 6 p.m.), enjoy a unique
drink called Bee’s Knees.
(110-00 Rockaway Blvd.,
South Jamaica)
Harriet Ann Jacobs – who
was born a slave in North
Carolina in 1813 – once
wrote, “No pen can give an
adequate description of the
all-pervading corruption
produced by slavery.”
Her words are given a
voice during a 60-minute,
one-person adaptation of
Jacobs’ “Incidents in the
Life of a Slave Girl,” during
Queens College’s Evening
Readings, on April 30 at 7
p.m. The audience discusses
the story with guidance by
a teaching artist. (Aaron
Copland School of Music,
Choral Room 264, vicinity
of Kissena Blvd. at Horace
Harding Expwy., Flushing).
