Jazz Series Hits A High

bradley in actionWhile I’m tapping away on the keyboard, Bradley Litwin and his band are performing in the upstairs theatre.  It’s Jazz night.  Brad is an incredible fellow.  He’s a delightful, amusing, tireless enclyclopedia of Jazz history.  Tonight there are a few SUNY Oneonta students in the house and they’ve come to take notes.  We’re so happy they are getting such a thorough and charming lesson.  In the lounge sit a few sculptures that Brad brought with him from Pennsylvania.  He’s a kinetic sculptor and his pieces have the same quirky character as his musical performance.  He is the kind of artist that makes us happy to present a whole series on Jazz, where the form can really be explored in all its variety week after week.
