[Tradjazz] Galvanized Jazz Band Alert!

[VIGORJAZZ at aol.com]

Hi GJB Fans,

First, thank you so much for your help in raising travel money for my friend 
JP Alessi from Irigny, France.   I've collected $325 so far, just $675 to go 
to reach the $1,000 needed.   Remember, JP will be a guest sax player with the 
GJB at the Great CT Trad Jazz Fest, July 25-27, and he has agreed to pay his 
own travel expenses.   In the mean time, he lost his day job and totaled his 
car!   Any amount will help, but for $50 or more, you'll get a recording of the 
GJB at this year's Great CT Trad Jaz Fest.   Please, send your check to me, 
Fred Vigorito, 20 Ledgeview Lane, Guilford, CT 06437. Thank you!

Wednesday, June 18th, 7PM, The GJB with Ben Griffin (tromb, US Coast Guard), 
Bob Price (bnjo), and Jane Campedelli will do a free concert at the Sherman 
Green Gazebo in Fairfield.   Bring chairs, blankets, food, drink, and enjoy some 
great New Orleans Jazz under the stars. 

Bill Logozzo's Heartbeat Jazz Band will be at Olivers in Essex on Thursday, 
June 19th, 7-10PM, with Bob Price!  They'll also be there on Thursday, July 3rd 
with Skip Hughes. This is a great spot, nice casual atmosphere, and good food 
at a reasonable price. Of course the music is hot hot hot!   Dancing too!   
Look for them at Olivers usually on the first Thursday of each month. Contact 
Bill Logozzo at Bill at nutmegchrome.com or www.heartbeatjazzband.net  for 
information on the band and how to order CDs. 

Scott Kahn (bass) is getting around.   Look for him on:

Saturday, June 21 with Rockin Heartbeats at the Waterbury Elks, and Saturday, 
June 28th, 8-12 at 95 Gathering, N. Colony Rd, Wallingford.

Paris Washboard Coming to the USA!

They will be appearing at the Bickford Theatre in Morristown on Tuesday 
evening, August 5 -- the day after the Wolverines, a world class Australian band, 
play there.   This exclusive East Coast stop is their first visit to the US in 
two years.   Given the plunging dollar and the escalating cost of flights, 
future visits are in doubt, to say the least.   The Bickford Box Office is at 
(973) 971-3706, and they can supply further information and sell tickets over the 
phone.   Previous visits have resulted in sellouts, so order tickets ahead of 
time.    Daniel Barda, Alain Marquet and Gerrard Bagot will be on this trip, 
but Louis Mazetier must fly directly to the Orange County Classic in Costa 
Mesa, their ultimate destination this trip. The fabulous Jeff Barnhart will play 
piano.   

Suncoast Dixieland Jazz Classic, Nov 21-23, Clearwater Florida

We'll be there with Craig Grant, Jane Campedelli, and Bob Price, along with 
24 other bands!   This is one of the best Jazz Festival's in the world, so buy 
your tickets now.   Go to www.jazzclassic.net for details.
