Tidbits:

— Overtown Music Project hosts its second annual Big Band/Hip Hop Mash Up at LIV at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach on Saturday, Jan. 26, 7 – 10 p.m. The event, which will feature the 18-piece Melton Musapha Orchestra and DJ Maseo, celebrates the connection between Overtown and the Fontainebleau, where Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Etta James once performed. Several musicians who played in Overtown’s numerous venues during its heyday (now ranging in age from their 60s to their 90s) will participate. Proceeds will fund annual events and programs in Overtown. Overtown Music Project was founded in 2009 by North Miami Beach resident Amy Rosenberg. Tickets ($60 each) are available at www.overtownmusicproject.org.
