Jazzberry Jam is an enthusiastic, though perhaps somewhat unlikely, Brattleboro-based quartet. Over the past 10 years the group has morphed through various styles, eventually settling on an upbeat, danceable, jazz-based music with multigeneration appeal. Walter Slowinski (alto sax and clarinet) currently practices medicine in Putney, and does the jazz on the side. Bill Conley (guitar) grew up a rock ‘n’ roll-aholic. He’s in recovery now, but pulls the band in that funk direction. Jeremy Holch (drums) has fond memories of Putney, living in a cabin, picking apples, and playing with local group Stormwatch for years. Jay Cook (electric and acoustic bass) performs and teaches music locally.
Next up in this summer’s Twilight on the Tavern Lawn concert series is the high energy accordion/guitar-driven dance music of Louisiana by Planet Zydeco on June 28.
The seven-concert series continues every other Sunday through August 23. All concerts begin at 5:30 pm in downtown Putney on the Putney Tavern lawn (bring a lawn chair or blanket) or at Newman Hall (48 Old Depot Road) in case of rain.
The concerts are free to the public (donations are accepted) and food will be available. For information visit www.twilightmusic.org or call (802) 387-5772.
