Hi All, Storming in from Boston next week will be the relentless swinger Benny Sharoni. His powerful and aggressive sound on the tenor saxophone is something to behold and is also a blast to play with. Guaranteed high energy with a thoughtful ballad or Bossa thrown in to give some relief. No joke, he'll smoke.  http://bennysharoni.com  -Paul Arslanian ​Also, pianist and saxophonist  Fred Lipsius of Blood, Sweat & Tears fame  will be in concert at the Northampton Community Music Center on  Saturday, July 28th .

 at Spare Time Northampton,  525 Pleasant St., Northampton . Hi All, Our guest for this  coming Tuesday  is our good friend and brilliant musician Erik Lawrence. Erik is comfortable on all the saxes and many flutes from around the world. Not sure what he will show up with this time but his music is always inspiring and as many of you know, always manages to transcend to some higher plane, a place I love to go. His open mind and spirit matched with his masterful technique always nudges the music beyond the expected. Here's an excerpt from his bio demonstrating the eclectic depth of his music:  http://www.eriklawrence music.com He has played, toured and recorded with legends including three time Grammy award winner Levon Helm, Bob Dylan, Mavis Staples, Buddy Miles, Chico Hamilton, Sonny Sharrock, Aretha Franklin, Spin Doctors, Glen Hansard, Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint, Dr John, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Tibetan flute master Nawang Khechog,...

Hi All, We are really looking forward to a nice musical hang with Sheryl Bailey  tomorrow . Sorry to say that drummer Claire Arenius has had a hand injury and will not be able to play. We wish her a speedy recovery and in her place, our good friend and master drummer Bob Weiner will be joining Sheryl, George and I. If you don't know Bob's drumming you will be in for a real treat. Besides working with Harry Belafonte for many years, Bob has authored two books on kit drumming for Afro/Cuban and Afro/Brazilian music and has a rich history of playing with some of the top players in the world today. I hope you can join us and, as our friend Ruth is fond of saying;  expect the unexpected. -Paul arslanian
