MARLBORO-On Saturday, Aug, 17, from 7 to 9 p.m., all are invited to put on their dancing shoes and enjoy live music under the stars at the Marlboro Community Center (MCC).
This summer concert features local jazz quartet The Woodpeckers. The Woodpeckers play early swing of 1910 to 1930. "In a highly improvisatory, good-humored, spontaneous, danceable, conversational and interactive style," say organizers in a news release, "they interpret the exhilarating music of that time, when jazz was being born and was embraced and celebrated by young and old."
The quartet includes Ron Kelley, tenor sax; Walter Slowinski, clarinet; Mark Anagnostopulos, rhythm guitar; and Marlboro's own Ty Gibbons on upright bass and percussion. All members sing.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a picnic or have a bowl of chili, provided by the MCC, starting at 5:30 p.m. Donations are appreciated. Tickets for a 50/50 Raffle are $5 each or 5 for $20.. The winner splits the jackpot with the Marlboro Community Center.
Admission is $12 per person, $25 per family. If there's dry weather, the concert is outdoors, and blankets and folding chairs are welcome. In case of rain, the concert will be held inside the Community Center.
