“Billed as a celebration of de Lavallade’s love of both dance and jazz, this limited engagement features the beautiful 87-year-old star sharing memories interwoven with music and dance as she entertains us with stories of professional and personal encounters with such jazz legends as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Jane Ira Bloom and Bill Evans, among others.
