Music for a Summer Evening

I am excited to report that our first evening of our second year of the series, "Music for a Summer Evening" here at the Great Neck Library was a rousing success last night.  We began our series with a saxaphone quartet called "Four Saxy Guys" and using alto, soprano, tenor and baritone saxes created a magnificent sound.

Led by Marcello Blanco (a Great Neck native and former Levels kid) and featuring Frank Benvenuto, Richard Nasto and Anthony Pomponio, the group treated its enthusiastic audience to music from the jazz age, the ragtime era and much more, even throwing in a little Beethoven and Beatles.

I hope you can join us next week, on July 19th for something completely different, a duo called Nina Et Cetera who will entertain you with both original songs and original takes on music legends such as Elvis, Buddy Holly, Woody Guthrie and more. Nina and Tim with use guitar, harmonica, auto harp, piano, foot percussion, bass and something called porchboard bass.  I don't know what that is, but join me next week and we'll find out together.  Here they are.  See you on the 19th!
