Jambalaya Jazz All Stars at Sportsmen’s Park September 18
Sportsmen’s Tavern impresario Dwane Hall (who, by the way has been keeping the music alive several nights and days per week for an amazing number of years) continues his outdoor concert series in Musicians Park just behind the Tavern, with a concert starring the Jambalaya All-Star Jazz Band on September 18 from 7:30 to 9:00 PM.
Led by a brass section of Phil Nyhuis (author and musician extraordinaire) and Ray Skalski, this one-time-only Jambalaya incarnation also features longtime Barroom Buzzards stalwarts Paul Preston on reeds and Richard Hull on bass and tuba.
Other special guests artists include veteran Buffalo drummer John Bacon and pianist and trumpeter Jon Seiger, who has toured the world with his remarkable tributes to Louis Armstrong and Cab Calloway.
The band will rock Black Rock with a selection of Trad and Swing standards as well as a few musical surprises. This is a tobacco-and-alcohol-free venue, so bring the whole family for an exciting evening of traditional jazz. This smoke-free and alcohol-free concert is sponsored by The Erie-Niagara Tobacco-Free Coalition.

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am

This band is amazing. I saw them this past spring. Don't miss this event. Black Rock comes alive on the 18th. Wow, a rare opportunity to see the areas finest musicians in a smoke & alcohol free venue. The Sportsmen's is Buffalo's best music venue & Duane's new Muscian's Park, an outdoor concert hall, is a fun place to see music. Yes, dancing is always allowed...! Really looking forward to this special event. Phil Nyhuis is Buffalo's best trumpet player and Ray Skalski, on trombone reminds me of the legendary Jack Teagarten. I hope to see the Whitney folks there !!!
