Overtown Music Project’s annual fundraiser is held at The Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. The event showcases a mash-up of an 18-piece big band with hip-hop. EPIC celebrates the connection between Overtown and the Fontainebleau, a hotel where Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Etta James once performed and invites several musicians who played in Overtown’s numerous venues during its heyday, now in their 60s – 90s.
