Jazz Jam
w/ Host: The
Ted Knowlton Group with Ken Steiner, string bass, at Amazing Things
Arts Center, 55 Nicholas Rd. Framingham, MA 01701 $6 ($5 Members)
Our group starts with bass, drums, and piano. Ken & I (Ted) have been around
longer than the other Jazz Jam musicians. We are probably not as "out of the
box" (that's Michael's favorite term) as some of the younger musicians
hosting the Jam, but we bring a wealth of jazz experience to the party."
And, we love "out of the box" folks to jam with. Give us your freedom of
expression; we give you a solid base of jazz experience. You draw us out; we
draw you out! Our bassist, Ken Steiner, has extraordinary pizzicato
technique. He has been gigging in the Boston area for the last 35 years in a
variety of settings. In addition, Ken helps keep everyone on the same page.
I hesitate to say he keeps us straight, but you'll know what I mean when you
jump in." - Ted

Blue Horizon Jazz
Band
at the Sherborn Inn, 33 N. Main St. Sherborn MA
(508) 655-9521 $10 admission. 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 John Pierce, 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!
