Who is Skatch Anderssen?
That’s a great question! You can find the answer during Monday Night Big Band Jazz at the Brothers Lounge as the Skatch Anderssen Orchestra takes center stage.

The weekly jazz concert starts at 8 p.m. near the corner of Detroit Avenue and West 117th Street at the Cleveland-Lakewood border.
