Jennifer Leitham will be kicking off the Summer Sounds free concert series with a concert in the brand-new City Hall Community Plaza. A highly praised veteran artist whose resume includes gigs with everyone from Woody Herman and George Shearing to Mel Tormé, K.D. Lang, and Peggy Lee, Leitham has been a major jazz star in her own right since she transitioned into her true identity in 2001. She has played on over 140 albums, including 10 albums of her own. Leitham’s latest CD, Mood(S)wings, showcases a stellar collection of standards and originals, with Leitham’s remarkable left handed bass playing and her captivating vocals in the spotlight.

Just prior to the concert for a special free screening of the 2012 Outfest audience award winning documentary, "I Stand Corrected," which tells of Jennifer's public transition from John Leitham while on tour with Doc Severinson. This film is presented as part of the One City One Pride LGBT Arts Festival, and will be followed by a Q&A with director Andrea Mayerson.
