Monday, February 13.
The concert formerly known as the great Groundhog Day Jam, now running
on or near Valentine's Day. The emphasis will still be on hot,
unscripted jazz with a high fun quotient.
Herb Gardner (trombone and piano) continues to lead the festivities. Abbie Gardner is expected to join in on the vocals, and Randy Reinhart (cornet, trombone?), Dan Levinson (reeds), James Chirillo (guitar), Joe Hanchrow (tuba and bass) and Robbie Scott (drums) will provide the music, essentially reuniting the original cast that sold out the first Jam nearly a decade ago and thus continuing this perennial crowd pleaser. Weekday concerts at The Bickford are one long set, from 8 to 9:30 PM, allowing working people to attend and still get home at a decent hour. The tab is reasonable too: only $15 in advance, $18 at the door (less for Morris Museum members). Pick up your prepaid tickets in the express line that night (suggested), or have them mailed for $1 per order (if you insist). Ticket info below. The New Jersey Jazz Society is a proud co-sponsor of Jazz at the Bickford Theater. |
