What's New

GJB on You-Tube:

The 2010 Great CT Jazz Festival will be July 30 - August 1 at the Sheraton Four Points Hotel, located at 275 Research Parkway in Meriden, just a few miles north of Mountain Ridge, and we'll be there, with special guest trombonist Roy Rubinstein, vocalist Jane Campedelli, and Bob Price, the "banjo crackerjack". There will be two tents and three indoor venues. We are scheduled to perform at 4 pm & 6:30 pm on Friday, 1:30, 5:15 and 7:45 on Saturday, and 12:15 & 2:45 on Sunday. (The 2:45 Sunday set will be Joel Schiavone's famously fulsome sing-along.) . . . Band Schedule . . . tickets

On Sunday, August 22 the GJB will return to Aunt Chilada's in Hamden beside the golf driving range, a couple of miles north of Sleeping Giant, with Fred Vigorito, Noel Kaletsky, Russ Whitman, Tom Artin, Bill Sinclair, Art Hovey, Bill Logozzo, and Cynthia Fabian.. Known since 1993 as the best Mexican restaurant in the greater New Haven area, Aunt C's is located at 3931 Whitney Avenue. We play from 6:30 until 9pm. Seating is somewhat limited; please call 203-230-4640 to reserve a table, or just come anyway and sit at the bar. Click HERE for Jean Hadley's review of our Jan. 3 session, with photos!
