This weekend, Oakland audiences are going to experience a show reminiscent of the 1920s Cotton Club. It’s called “Parris Lane - Jazz Renaissance.” And you can see it at Geoffrey’s Inner Circle on Saturday night.

Parris Lane is a longtime Bay Area singer and emmy-nominated artist. The show is part of a series she is hosting for her residency at Geoffrey’s.
