Oceanside Museum of Art presents a night out with Izzy Chait at 333’s Jazz at the Museum concert series. This accomplished multi-dimensional artist has found success in both the art and music worlds, and continues to evolve and perfect his craft as a performer of “standards.” His critically-acclaimed debut album, Once Upon A Time, was widely applauded for Chait’s fresh spin on the style and sound of jazz classics, and is considered to be his “magnum opus.”
333 Pacific restaurant in Oceanside has partnered with the museum to present a dynamic jazz concert series featuring the region’s top jazz musicians, paired with gourmet appetizers, desserts and specialty wines.
Influenced by the upbeat rhythm of styles such as doo-wop and classic rock, Izzy Chait began his musical career playing clubs in Los Angeles in the late 60’s and early 70’s. He never forgot his favorite musical genre, the classic jazz “standards,” which helped to create the stylistic versatility that he is known for today.
Chait received his B.A. in anthropology from UCLA, where he graduated cum laude. He later found success in the field of Asian art in the early 90’s, but continued to feel the pull of performing and decided to reconnect with the songs and sounds of his youth. He has recorded and performed with a wide range of jazz, blues and pop musicians, such as Carl Saunders, Phil Upchurch, Will Kennedy and many more.
The concert is on Thursday, December 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way in downtown Oceanside.
Admission to the concert is $25 or $20 for members of Oceanside Museum of Art.
For reservations or tickets, call (760) 435-3721.
