The Vic for Jazz continues with its 2005 Jazz Series, during August.

Coming in on Aug. 11 will be Ilona Knopfler accompanied by trombone-player Jay Ashby, piano-player Alain Mallet, Tony Dumas on bass, and Enzo Tedesco on drums.

“She’s a one woman Manhattan Transfer,” says the Jazz Times.

Late night jazz features Ascendant, which is comprised of piano-player Aaron Antz, Gabe Noel on bass, and Aaron McClendon on drums.

The Vic is open from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Shows are on Thursdays, with two shows — one at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Reservations are required. There is a $20 cover and a two item minimum for the 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows. There is a $5 cover and two drink minimum for the late night jazz, and no reservation is needed. Dinner is served from 7 p.m. to midnight. The Vic is located at 2640 Main St. For reservations call (888) FOR-JAZZ (367-5299) or visit www.thevicforjazz.com
