Fundraiser brings jazz to the museum

Classic jazz songs will be performed by Krysia Mansfield at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, on Saturday (October 27).

SONGS by George Gershwin, Cole Porter and other composers, will be sung by Mansfield, with Michael Short (piano) and Robert Freedman (bass).

Very few classically-trained singers can sing jazz with the right kind of feel, but Krysia has got what it takes.
