Join us Friday, September 4 at 8PM as the four-piece VA Black Market Jazz Band settles into Dopo Ora for an evening of sophisticated sound and speakeasy vibes. Expect the warm resonance of the upright bass, tasteful improvisation, familiar jazz standards, and soulful interpretations—including the music of Gregory Porter—all delivered with the swing, pocket, and intimacy that make a small jazz room special.

Think brushed drums, walking bass lines, rich melodies, cocktails in hand, dinner at the table, and music that gives you permission to settle in and stay awhile.
