Don't miss an unforgettable night this week as we wrap up our FREE Jazz in the Park series with the legendary Al Di Meola. For over four decades, this virtuoso has been pushing the boundaries of music with his mind-blowing technique, complex rhythms, and soulful, lyrical melodies.

As a perennial poll-winner with over 6 million records sold and three gold albums, Di Meola has cemented his status as a bona fide icon. You know him from his pioneering work with the fusion supergroup Return to Forever and the celebrated acoustic Guitar Trio alongside John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia. Now, you get to experience that legendary brilliance live right in our park.

While his dazzling speed and technique have earned him regal status among guitar aficionados, it’s the deep emotional songwriting, sophisticated harmony, and pure soulfulness that win over music lovers of all kinds. Whether you're a die-hard fretboard fanatic or just looking for an incredible night of live music, this performance is guaranteed to captivate you.

📅 When: Saturday, June 6 (venue opens at 4pm)

📍 Where: Clark County Government Center Amphitheater, 500 South Grand Central Pkwy.

A very fine music shop🎶🎸💔

In Memory of Joe Negri
June 10, 1926 - May 30, 2026

As “Handyman” Negri in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe and the owner of Negri’s Music Shop in Mister Rogers’ “real” neighborhood, Joe Negri showed generations of children what it looked like to be a good neighbor and a caring adult. Joe’s love of music and deep talent as a jazz guitarist was a tremendous gift to the program for more than 30 years. Through visits to Negri’s Music Shop, children were introduced to talents like Yo-Yo Ma and Winton Marsalis, and learned from Joe Negri and Fred Rogers what it could look like to use music to care for themselves and express their feelings.

On Saturday, May 30th, 2026, our neighborhood said goodbye to Joe Negri just days before what would have been his 100th birthday on June 10th. We are so grateful for his life and legacy.

Today, we celebrate the birthday of the remarkable Clora Bryant—born May 30, 1927. A pioneering trumpeter and vocalist, Clora was a force in jazz, breaking barriers as one of the few prominent women in a male-dominated field, and one of the first female jazz trumpeters to gain national recognition.

Happy birthday, Ms. Bryant.
