Jazzy Summer

Matt Portu Conducts the Big BandThis month is crammed with great music. Right now I’m in the middle of the PMAC Jazz Camp at Little Harbor School in Portsmouth, NH. We’ve got a great group of kids and the instructors on hand are all members of Charlie Kohlhases’ Explorer’s Club. Eric Hofbauer was with up for the first couple of days this week before he headed down to NY for a gig. He’ll be back for 3 daqys next week. Charlie, Myself and Jeff Galindo have been here all week . We’ve got three ansembles running various tunes including a bunch of Charlie’s originals and a large group containing all 23 kids working on a chart by John Tchicai. They are doing a great job with some difficult music and it is sounding killin! Please get over to Prescott Park on friday, July 21st for the concert. We’ll hit at 6:30.

This sunday, July 16th, the Explorer’s Club will be at the Press Room in Portsmouth, NH. The music starts at 6:00PM upstairs. We’ll feature some new music in Charlie’s Super Hero series as well as a few others. Hope to see you there. Don’t forget to head up to Portland this friday for the last Jan Van Voorst Quartet gig this month. We’ll back on Friday, August 4th.

hey its tony from injazz. i’d just like to say for me and all the rest of the
students, thanks for all the time you, and the rest, put into it. it was a great two weeks.
too bad ’bout the concert. out of the four years i’ve been at injazz, we’ve only had one
successful outdoors concert.

anyways, thanks for everything. i hope you guys do the injazz thing again next year.
hopefully i’ll be able to do it.. five years!
