Jazz on the Porch: Come Celebrate Our Opening

August 25th, 2009

This Friday, the 28th, we'll be celebrating at Jazz on the Porch.

5:30-7:30 on the front porch of The Clinton House.

Jazz on the Porch will be an open Jam that welcomes players and listeners alike.

The house band will consist of New Roots students and local musicians Tom Bronzetti, Walter Stinson, Greg Evans, and Alejandro Bernard-Papachryssanthou, New Roots Music Director. The Jam will start with the house band, followed by an open invitation to anyone who wishes to participate.

The music program will consist of well-known jazz standards and arrangements in a variety of styles ranging from up-tempo Latin jazz to slow, swing ballads. A goal of the New Roots Music Department is to keep jazz alive and thriving in Ithaca, and to share the gift of music with the downtown community.
