This event has passed.
Indulge in an evening of smooth melodies under the open sky at scenic Lummus Park. As part of the Ocean Drive Promenade Music Series, a free weekly concert series presented by the Ocean Drive Association, the dynamic duo Acute Inflections takes the stage for an outdoor performance on Sunday, April 7 at 5:00 p.m.
Comprised of bassist Sadiki Pierre and vocalist Elasea Douglas, Acute Inflections brings a captivating blend of Jazz and R&B to the stage, drawing inspiration from artists like Erykah Badu and Billie Holiday. Their unique sound, featuring both original compositions and reimagined classics, has garnered them national attention with airplay on NPR and Hulu, as well as chart-topping success. Pack a picnic blanket or lawn chair and settle in for a memorable evening of music by the ocean.
This performance is presented as part of the The Betsy’s 12th annual Overture to Overtown Jazz Festival. As a tribute to Overtown's history and legacy, The Betsy has been holding its annual Overture to Overtown Festival for nearly a decade featuring live jazz, poetry readings and talks. The festival celebrates the historic connections, between South Florida jazz and the National historic jazz circuit, that brought stars like Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday, Duke Ellington and many others to perform in Overtown (aka Harlem of the South).
