A very special evening! The trio who are the founding members of the Hartford CT jam band trio "The McLovins" are here this Sunday.

Friend Jake” with backing by Jeff as well, will make this a night you surely

So why whenever there is a jazz performance announced we have to hear they teach at ________University or went to _____________University. It is Jazz! WC Handy, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, and thousands more jazz artists never went to college and real jazz fans don't care. Tell us their style, influences, approach to their music, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnon: There are links to the artists' websites. You could try that to find out "...their style, influences, approach to their music, etc." the artists probably do a better job than the poster could explaining who they are.
