SEACOAST STOMPERS
Flyer
| Rare treat - classic jazz played by a sextet of some of the finest World Class musicians around.
The Seacoast Stompers will be performing once a month at the Acton Jazz
Café, a wonderful, intimate club. The ambiance is friendly, with good food and drink, room for dancing, and the feeling of a private living room.
November 1st, the musicians were Frank Stadler, leader/piano;
Scott Philbrick cornet, Craig Ball clarinet, Jimmy Mazzy banjo,
Bob
McHenry acoustic bass, and Steve Taddeo drums. Dave Whitney,
originally scheduled for this gig, was under the weather. But it
was a beautiful, sunny, New England day, especially conducive to a
nice afternoon drive, and listening to some great jazz! |

Steve Taddeo |
| They started off
blazing, straight away, with At the Jazz Band Ball and Ain't Misbehavin',
the high-spirited front line setting the atmosphere for a fiery
afternoon of HOT Jazz. Please Don't Talk
About Me When I'm Gone. Then gently, Do You Know What It Means to Miss New
Orleans, McHenry wistfully phrasing, bowing that fine
acoustic string bass. Jimmy being Jimmy, taking us back
to the 1930's in his own unique vocal style.
Up-tempo again with Nobody
But Me, The Preacher, Craig giving it his signature, room
filling, sound. After You've Gone. Frank's nimble
fingers calmed them down for a bit with
Sleepy Time Down South, but Scott picked it up again at the
end, finishing with a flourish.
Papa's Gone - Goodbye. Fantastic! And that was
just the first set.

Taddeo This is
just a teaser for one fabulous afternoon of rare Traditional Jazz,
once a month only, on Saturday afternoon at the Acton Jazz Café! They'll be back
on December 6th - mark your calendars. Flyer |
| NOTE: It's easy to miss
the sign for the Acton Jazz Café, because the restaurant is
downstairs, in the rear of the building. Watch for a big
white sign for Payright Payroll Services - the Café is right beside
it. Drive around lower back where there is parking.
Coming from
the West, take Rt. 495 to Exit 31, Routes 2A/119,
follow signs to Acton; go ~4 miles on 2A/119, AJC is on the right.
(Make sure you bear right at intersection of 119 and 110,
stay on 2A) |
