[Tradjazz] Trad Jazz Happenings

[Paul J Monat]

Hey Bruce!

First, I want to thank you for responding to sooooooo many prayers in a
positive manner.... :-)

Glad what ailed ya didn't have permanent ramifications!

Second I was very sad to hear that my old dear friend Charlie Stevens died.
I was with Lazotte and Charlie at the black olive for many months at a time.

Was honored by the presence of Ben Bova from CBS science dept and my all
time favorite SCIFI writer, Isaac Azimov. They both dug jazz and needless to
say, I was all over them between sets!

Jan and I will be up in western MA between May and October next year. Please
consider getting together????

Warmest,
 
The wild one

around these days. The New Orleans based Jacuqes-Imo's plans to open a place

THE GALVANIZED JAZZ BAND

I've played with the very best musicians around and I've seen dozens of
groups. That's made me into a guy who ain't easy to please. Each time I hear
the Galvanized Jazz Band, I am reminded that they are the tops! DO NOT MISS
A CHANCE TO SEE THIS VERY SPECIAL GROUP.

Recently, I heard a copy of one of their latest CDs (they have many) which
features Skip Hughes (trombone & vocals) and Jimmy Mazzy (banjo & vocals).
To my delight, this is even better than I've ever heard them before (hard as
that is to believe).

CD Release Party, Thursday, 11/29/07 - 6:30-10:30PM. The Beachhead, 3 Cosey
Beach Avenue, East Haven, CT. 203-469-5450.  Re: Galvanized Jazz Band CD
