JAZZ'N with Nanette Frank and Friends
Nanette Frank brings her extraordinary five octave vocal range and eclectic blend of jazz and R&B performance to the Hidden Pearl Cafe in the Little Black Pearl Art and Design Center located at 47th & Greenwood in Chicago.
Jazz'n with Nanette Frank & Friends is about more than music. It is an entertaining and enjoyable way for people to help support the work of this innovative community group.

Indulge your passions for music and art, in an environment where people mix, mingle and network while enjoying the wonderful art created in this historically recognized community.
Along with great music, delicious food and beverages, a wide array of works of art created by youth in programs and workshops are on display at Little Black Pearl.
