Fayette County Public Library is presenting “Have Yourself a Jazzy Little Christmas,” a free Christmas concert starring vocalist Jazzy Jackie Lee. It is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 15, at 6:30 p.m.

The public is invited, and light refreshments will be available free of charge, courtesy of Hanna Brothers Catering and the Friends of the Fayette County Public Library.

The evening’s entertainment will open with an instrumental interlude by two department heads with Fayette County government: pianist Phil Frieder (CIO of information systems) and percussionist Lewis Patterson (human resources director). Then Jackie Lee will begin singing, accompanied by Phil Frieder and by her own accompanist Julius Speed on piano. The audience can expect to enjoy a couple of hours of singable seasonal favorites with a contemporary flair.

Jazzy Jackie Lee has been singing professionally since the age of 13, and specializes in standard jazz, contemporary jazz, love songs, and Motown. Now residing in Georgia, she has performed throughout the Midwest and in Texas, as well as at the legendary Cotton Club in New York City.

The Fayette County Public Library is located behind the Fayette County administrative complex in downtown Fayetteville, at the southwest corner of Highways 85 and 54.  For additional information, contact the library at 770-461-8841.
