Hi All,

This week we are excited to present the music Thelonious Monk featuring Jason Robinson on saxophone. One of the most interesting and influential composers in jazz, Monk's compositions have lived on and continue to challenge and inspire musicians. We will be tackling some of Monks more difficult tunes as well as some that have become part of the standard jazz repertoire. Jason Robinson, besides being a brilliant musician, composer and educator, also produces many local live music events at Amherst College where he teaches and the regular Soundworks Gathering held every first Thursday at the Flywheel in Easthampton. 

I hope you can join us for this trip into the bizarre and fascinating mind of one of Americas greatest composers.

Also, two other events of interest. On Saturday the10th there will be a very special benefit concert at Berkshire Hills Music Academy featuring vocalist Roberta Gambarini and pianist Sullivan Fortner. Then on this Friday and Saturday, November 2 and 3 the Vermont Jazz Center will present it's Emerging Artists Festival. Please see attached posters for more info.
