Music, fun, food and surprises
Fri 9/20, 6:00 pm. Avon Faire, traditional Celtic and English folk songs [La Plaza]
This female singing group from New York City features 3-part harmony vocal arrangements. We love these songs from hundreds of years ago, and are excited to keep this music alive and well!
Fri 9/20, 7:00 pm. “Source” African Jazz [La Plaza]
Come celebrate the Equinox when Jazz returns to its roots with a vibrant and danceable mix of music of Guinea and Mali with a jazz inflection.
Source, a standard formation of bass, drums, keyboards, and winds was founded by Quebecois flutist Sylvain Leroux and evolved into the explorative African Jazz unit that held fort at the Zinc Bar for more than a decade. With Mamadou Ba (bass), Brittany Anjou* (piano, keyboards) and Andy Algire (drums), Source delivers a message of human spirit and of individual and collective creativity demonstrating how different cultures can meet and communicate through their personal relationship to music.
