In spite of the record cold the Lenny Marcus Trio heated up the Roanoke City Main library mezzanine Tuesday night providing some classic jazz numbers as well as several wonderfully Vince Guaraldi arrangements (think theme and Christmas music from Charlie Brown.)
Library Events Coordinator River Laker pulled the event off for the 3rd year in a row with free h’ordeuvres and a pleasantly laid back holiday atmosphere that had Roanokers from all walks of life tapping their feet and nodding their heads together as the music floated out and over the stacks and sitting areas below. Roanoker Kerry Hurley joined the band for the final set and wooed the crowd with “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” as well as a scintillating rendition of the Elvis Presley classic, “Blue Christmas.”
