St. Pete Jazz concert is also a discussion about gun violence

In the hours after last weekend’s Ybor City shooting that killed two, St. Petersburg-based State Rep. Lindsay Cross wrote that she was “disgusted, mad & heartbroken” by the lives lost and called for more common sense gun laws.

Cross, together with St. Pete City Councilman Brother John Muhammed and others will be part of a discussion about gun violence at this event, which is bookended by an Al Downing Jazz Association ensemble led by trumpeter Dwayne White.

Tickets to see the Al Downing Jazz Association at St. Pete’s ArtsXChange at Warehouse Arts District on Friday, Nov. 3 are still available and start at $10 for Warehouse and Association members.
