Vanilla Fudge brings its pioneering blend of psychedelic and heavy rock to Ludlow Garage in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati’s Blue Wisp Big Band marks 45 years of big band jazz at Caffè Vivace in Walnut Hills. The ensemble features Jeremy Long and Jamie Walkenhauer on alto saxophone, Brent Gallaher and Dan Drees on tenor saxophone, and Larry Dickson on baritone saxophone. The trombones are Jeff Owen, Clarence Pawn, and Brian Stevens with Gary Langhorst on bass trombone, the trumpets are Jeff Folkens, Hank Mautner, John Zappa, and Kim Pensyl, and the rhythm section is Steve Schmidt on piano, Mike Sharfe on bass, and Jim Leslie on drums. Founded in 1980 by drummer John Von Ohlen and trumpeter Don Johnson, the band took its name from the original Blue Wisp Jazz Club. Von Ohlen came to Cincinnati after years with major jazz orchestras including those led by Stan Kenton and Woody Herman, and he teamed with Johnson to assemble the horn section. With Steve Schmidt and Michael Sharfe already working with Von Ohlen at the club, the rhythm core formed quickly. Regular Wednesdays at the Blue Wisp followed, recording began in 1981 with an LP sponsored by WKRC, and four more albums appeared on Fred and Helen Morr’s Mopro label. Those LPs were later reissued by Sea Breeze in the mid 1990s, including a set recorded in Los Angeles during a 1984 West Coast tour, and distribution brought attention and airplay across the United States and Europe. Alumni include trumpeter Tim Hagans and bassist Lynn Seaton. The group kept its Wednesday tradition at the Blue Wisp until the club closed in 2014, then appeared at Japp’s Annex downtown, had a brief run at Pirate’s Den in Westwood, and spent three years at Urban Artifact in Northside before establishing a new home at Caffè Vivace. A $15 drink and food minimum per person per set applies if the party’s beverage purchases do not meet the minimum. Seats may be released without refund if check-in has not occurred within 15 minutes after a set begins. Tickets are non-refundable.

Settle into a yoga class that blends movement with stillness. It opens with a mindful Vinyasa sequence that connects breath and motion to build strength, focus, and presence, then shifts into a Yin-Restorative segment where you ease into floor poses for about three to five minutes to nourish the fascia and other connective tissues of the lower body. The arc from active flow to quiet holds helps the nervous system move from a heightened state toward rest, supporting stress management.

Settle into a calming blend of Yin Yoga and Reiki that invites deep rest and whole-body nourishment. In this gentle practice, floor-based shapes are held for several minutes to reach the cooler tissues of the body, including tendons, ligaments, and fascia. The steady holds apply mild pressure around the hips, pelvis, and lower back, supporting circulation and mobility while restorative postures create a cushion of ease and comfort. While you linger in these meditative poses, Reiki is offered through presence or light touch to melt away energetic stagnation and physical tightness, quiet mental chatter to ease stress and anxiety, and guide you back to a natural sense of balance. Many leave feeling grounded, spacious, and refreshed from the inside out. Available in studio and online, this session is guided by Laura Johnson.
