Riverboat
Stompers outdoor concert, FREE, Monument Park Community Bandstand,
Gardner, MA Contact: Ed Lepkowski---978-632-4295. Rain date Thursday,
August 6. The Stompers eschew musical subtlety and innuendo for a visceral high-octane excitement. They play the familiar Dixieland oeuvre, with a sprinkling of tongue-in-cheek tender love songs, hand-clapping gospel and stirring patriotic warhorses. They’re a no-holds-barred crew of foot-stomping devil-take-the-hindmost Katy-bar-the-door lease-breakers.

Formed in 1981, acclaimed for its firm but flexible grasp of the
hot and danceable tradition from New Orleans to early swing, the
Blue Horizon introduced classic jazz to the Sherborn Inn in
1989. Stan McDonald’s passionate soprano sax and
clarinet, Jeff Stout’s stirring trumpet and Gerry
Gagnon’s gritty trombone Creolate a pungent front line.
Backed by the cooking rhythm of stride pianist Ross Petot,
the simmering guitar/banjo of Eric Baldwin, the
full-bodied string bass of Al Ehrenfried, and the lean
drumming of Dave Bragdon, the members – whose ages span
five decades – dig to the roots of jazz and present a varied and
succulent repast, fulfilling their motto: The Future of the
Music with a Past! |

Fat City Band
at Chan's Egg Rolls and Jazz, Main St. Woonsocket, RI. The Fat City Band is a bluesy roots-rockin’ sextet from Boston. Led by harmonica player and singer Paul Redmond, the Fat City Band features tenor sax man Diamond Jim Baker, bassist Mike Janelle, drummer John Litwin, pianist Rich Cesarini and guitarist Mark Andersen. With their new CD, “Good Time Guaranteed,” Fat City operates in that territory where the roots of rock and roll were formed, with rhythm and blues, swing, jump blues, New Orleans gumbo and boogie woogie all meshing together in a smoky roadhouse jam session. |
