ALL STAR SUPER JAZZ CONCERT Held To Raise Money For Bay Street Theater

Bay Street Theatre has announced that The Jam Session will host a benefit jazz concert for the theatre's Annual Appeal on November 10 at 8 pm. Tickets are $30 per person which includes general admission and some light nibbles. A cash bar will be available. The featured musicians are all past special guests at The Jam Session series or part of The Thursday Night Live Band which is The Jam Session house band. The night is collaboration between Bay Street Theatre, The Jam Session, Peconic Public Broadcasting and Bay Burger.

"The concert is a culmination of the more than 130 performances of The Jam Session," says Claes Brondal, organizer of The Jam Session. "Many of the performances have taken place at Bay Street Theatre and we just wanted to give something back to Bay Street during its current Annual Appeal fundraising drive. It is a vital part of our community and this is one way we can help. The concert also fits our objective of keeping jazz alive. This benefit concert is a great symbol and testament to the success and well being of live jazz in Sag Harbor and across Long Island."

People of all ages can enjoy a wonderful mix of Fusion with Latin, World and Jazz music. Peconic Public Broadcasting, WPPB 88.3FM, will be co-presenting the evening as well as recording the concert for a future broadcast. Plus concert goers can enjoy nibbles provided by Conca Dora and Bay Burger.

"We are so thrilled to have the assistance of these incredible musicians, along with support from WPPB, Bay Burger and so many more. It's nice to know that our fellow artists in and around our community feel so strongly about us and are always willing to help," says Tracy Mitchell, Executive Director.

"A concert of this caliber," says Brondal, "is rare to Long Island and an all star line up like this can only be found at venues such as Lincoln Center, Blue Note and major Jazz festivals."
