Heartbeat Jazz Band and Triple Play
at The 22nd Annual Great Connecticut Traditional Jazz
Festival
July 25-27, 2008
| Heartbeat Jazz
Band with
Fred Vigorito cornet, Sherman Kahn reeds, Jimmy Mazzy Banjo, Ben
Griffin trombone, Scott Kahn bass, Bill Logozzo leader/drums, and
Washboard Slim's vocalist, Cynthia Fabian. When we arrived, they
were warming up the early crowd with Cynthia Fabian singing
Big Butter and Egg
Man, and the front line only with a wild After You've Gone.
Scott Kahn was featured on bass guitar, On The Road Again,
then they turned-about with Jimmy Mazzy listening to Jesus, pleading
as only he can, for a Closer Walk With Thee. The
ensemble's high notes reach all the way to heaven, and the
prayer ended with a classic Jimmy Mazzy shriek.

of the Heartbeat Jazz Band, Bill Logozzo.
Indefatigable Bill Logozzo says "There's something about this
music. You can see it in the audience's eyes. It's a
communication that goes on and on... a communication between
the players and the audience. All the barriers fall!
There is joy, a happiness, it's a wonderful place to be whether you
are participating or listening".
Keep communicating, Bill! |
