Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and you don’t have plans yet, do you? Don’t you love your mother? Of course you do. And rather than have us guilt you – because has a blog ever successfully guilted anyone? – we’d much prefer to lay out all the details for our excellent “Jazz May 9th Mothers Day Brunch” (the “presents” part really makes it fancy, no?) so you know how fantastic it’s going to be, and hopefully, you decide it’s worthy of a try.

The essential details: This Sunday, May 9th, from 11 am to 2 pm. $44.95 for adults, $21.95 for kids 12 and under. Reservations can be made by calling 323-491-1000 or visiting KJAZZ’s site.

The menu: All you can eat… Start with a few classic breakfast options including the omelet station, the waffle station with berries and whipped cream, traditional eggs benedict, herbed potatoes, and tons of fruit. On the meat carving side, we’ve got Prime Rib of Beef with Au Jus and Roast Rack of Lamb with Blackberry Sage Reduction. Yes, I had to capitalize those letters because it sounds awesome. What else? Pistachio Crusted Sea-Bass, Caramelized Onion Smashed Potatoes, Potato & Leek Soup, a full salad bar, Taco Shimi Crisp, Buttery Poached Shrimp, and Spicy Italian Panzanella Salad with Grilled Chicken… And for dessert? Pecan Tarts, Mixed Fruit Tarts, Passion Fruit Cake, Tiramisu, and an Italian Chocolate Cake called a “Zucotto.”

The drinks: All you can drink Champagne and Mimosas Coffee, as well as tea, fresh fruit juice, soda, milk, coffee.

The music: Hailed by JazzTimes as “one of the most focused, unpretentious, no-nonsense, bop-oriented jazz singers around”, Judy Wexler’s debut CD, Easy On The Heart, showcased her expressive voice and gift for storytelling. Dreams & Shadows, her 2008 release, climbed to #2 on the USA jazz chart.

Add it all up, and it sounds pretty good, right? Hope to see you there!

This Sunday, the George J. Gilliam Trio will return to the KJAZZ Sunday Brunch Series. George is a seasoned guitarist with a smooth distinctive style that makes his sound uniquely classic. “George Gilliam subtly changes dynamics and adds fills with sweet, well-timed chording.” Commented Bill Kohlhaase from the LA Times. George has performed in many venues over the years in and outside of California. George always insists on surrounding himself with great musicians. All the while, his talent and style have evolved into an outstanding guitarist who appeals to any audience. Weather he excites you with an energetic modern jazz feel or mellows your soul with rich relaxing tones; you’ll love his “special touch” on the guitar.
