From time to time I get e-mail asking what there is to do in Downtown Memphis that’s fun and is targeted toward a slightly older crowd (usually meaning mid-to-late 40s) than the usual downtown party scene. Here’s one for you:
The Memphis Jazz Orchestra rehearses every Sunday night at Alfred’s on Beale Street from 5 to 9 PM. Tom Prestigiacomo and others get up and sing, and a lot of jazz enthusiasts dance to the music. Crowd is very friendly. Relaxing way to wind up the weekend.
