Free Jazz Thursdays at Monrovia's Doubletree Hotel

Drummer and leader of the jazz band, Martini Five-O, David Walker, writes to say the band plays a free concert every Thursday, 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Doubletree Hotel in Monrovia. He says: "Our repertoire focuses on classic jazz standards from The Great American Songbook. The concert series at the Doubletree (which started in July and will continue indefinitely) is called 'Standards Under the Stars' (it takes place outdoors, near the pool and fireplace). The band is also putting on free jazz concerts at the Doubletree on Halloween and on the day of the Breeders Cup (10/31 and 11/01).
