A preview of what's to come...

Ok, so here's the link to last night's TV show. I got a chance to sit in with some totally awesome musicians and will work with these guys throughout the year as we get ready for Istanbul. Go to: http://www.pittsfieldtv.net/Cablecast/Public/Main.aspx?ChannelID=1 and look for the line up featuring "Jerry's Place."

What a treat... and while you're at it: why not stop by the 6th Annual Jazz Festival in Pittsfield over the next two weeks? One of our high school students made the new poster and here are some of this year's highlights:

The sixth annual Pittsfield CityJazz Festival is scheduled for October 8 – 21, 2010, in venues around the city. Headline performers include baritone saxophone virtuoso Claire Daly; up-and-coming vibraphone player Joe Baione; a return of the American Jazz Repertory Orchestra, the Brazilian Jazz Trio, and the Berkshires Youth Jazz Ensemble.
