Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 7:00pm
Wednesday, August 27, 2008 - 7:00pm

Each session will begin with a duo set featuring a different theme each week, performing a set by a specific composer, such as Duke Ellington or George Gershwin; or lyricists such as Johnny Mercer or Lorenz Hart; and tunes associated with vocal artists such as Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughan. The dinner show will be followed by a jam session.

As musicians arrive at ELIXIR to join in the fun, they will be asked to sign in with their name and a couple of tunes that they are interested in playing. These sessions are sponsored by ELIXIR, Interplay Jazz, and two generous, anonymous donors from Hanover. Call ELIXIR at 802-281-7009 for reservations.
