There is a specific kind of beauty that belongs only to January – the crisp air, the long shadows, and the desire to gather in a place that feels like a warm embrace. On January 3rd at 12 PM SLT, we invite you to step in from the cold and join us for a Winter Jazz Night at the Souland´s Gallery Jazz Cafe.
Curated by the wonderful Julana Allen, Souland Gallery is more than just a destination; it is a “haven for those who cherish the beauty of artistic expression.” This evening, we are bringing together art lovers and music aficionados for a night of elegant connection, where the chill of the season meets the heat of a saxophone solo.
The Man Behind the Sound: Hannington Xeltentat
The heartbeat of this evening is my dear old friend, Hannington Xeltentat. For those who seek depth in Second Life, Han is a familiar name. He is the guardian of the Leonard Cohen Club and the visionary founder of The Hannington Arts Foundation (HAF).
Han is a true Renaissance man – a poet, artist, and adventurer with a taste for the finer things, from Havana cigars to the cyberpunk visions of Gibson and Stephenson. At his private region, Xeltentat Enterprises, he has created a sanctuary for artists to experiment without the pressures of time or finance. For our Winter Jazz Night, Han is stepping behind the decks to play a bespoke Jazz and Blues DJ set. Having immersed himself in the genre for years, he knows exactly how to curate a playlist that feels both classic and soulful.
The Evening’s Invitation
The Music: A sophisticated journey through Jazz and Blues, hand-selected by Han to set the winter mood.
The Atmosphere: Think of a cozy, high-end lounge where the conversation is as smooth as the rhythm.
The Aesthetic: To honor the gallery and the occasion, our dress code is Elegant Formal. Let’s lean into the season with our finest silks, velvets, and tailored silhouettes.
