For years, the Greta Jane Quartet played every Monday at the Royal Lounge. "Quartet of what?" you ask, as yet unhip to Ms. Greta Jane Pederson's jazz combo featuring Cary Black, Vince Brown, and Andrew Dorsett. In your world, jazz is the Pandora station your boss makes you listen to at work. Well, prepare to get schooled! In the Quartet's nimble hands, jazz was powerfully sexy, just the thing to settle a body down after another manic Monday. Imagine a snifter of Maker's Mark and pretty ladies in cocktail gloves. That's right, cocktail gloves! It's my fantasy, damnit! Anywho, happy days are here again, as the Quartet resumes its Monday night ritual at 4th Ave Tav.

[4th Avenue Tavern, Jazz With Greta Jane, 9-11 p.m., no cover, 210 Fourth Ave. E., 360.705.0760]
