MARTA hosting live jazz on Oct. 24

This is actually a great idea. I just hope a bunch of buskers don't get involved and start overrunning the experience a la the New York subway system -- pirated DVDs, preachy sermons, mariachi bands and all. But that was half the charm. Oh, Big Apple, how I miss thee.

In celebration of Georgia Open Arts Month, MARTA will be hosting live jazz music on Wed., Oct. 24 at several stations around town to mellow the scene, hep cat. The press release doesn't state whether it's on the train platform or in a public area before you enter the turnstiles. Regardless, if you're a fan, it'll be a cheap ticket. Here's a rundown of who's playing where.

11 a.m.-2 p.m.

Five Points – Honey Bone

5:30-6:30 p.m.

Dunwoody – Ryan Strickland Trio

Peachtree Center – William Green Arts Center – ETQ

College Park – Roberto Goncalves

Decatur – Just Ahead

Hamilton E. Holmes – Ron James
