Performance

Gene's Jazz Hot  ~ every second Thursday ~  7-9:00 pm These four good friends have been improvising hot jazz for years.  Here is consummate musicianship coupled with the excitement of a front porch jam session. Even if you don’t know the words you’ll be singing along and dancing around the room in no time.   Vocalist Peggi Cella is a soulful, inventive improviser, who has been singing all her life. Bassist and singer Gene Epstein is a popular Cleveland area string bassist and band leader.  Guitarist and singer Seth Rosen has rock-steady rhythm and deliciously colorful harmonies.  Clarinetist and singer Bill Kenney is a virtuosic performer with an irrepressible sense of fun and is an eminent historian with several jazz history books currently in print.  Together, they are Gene's Jazz Hot, a local favorite with irrepressibly happy tunes. Free cookies.  Donations for the band gratefully accepted.

A Special Concert with Alix Dobkin Saturday, April 24, 7:30pm Womyn's music legend Alix Dobkin comes to Cleveland for an intimate concert and booksigning. Her book, My Red Blood, was published last year by Alyson Publications and recounts her early years growing up in New York City in a Communist family.  She joined the Party at the height of the McCarthy era and grew up under the influence of folk musicians like Leadbelly and Pete Seeger.  When she moved to Greenwich Village she befriended Bob Dylan, Bill Cosby, John Sebastian, Buffy Ste. Marie, and Flip Wilson, among others, and added her voice to the folk movement.  Shortly thereafter, she came out as a lesbian and recorded the first openly lesbian record album in 1973, titled "Lavendar Jane Loves Women."  Come hear more about her story, and her music.  Tickets, $10.

Meetings

Book Groups

Bloomsday Book Club ~ fourth Thursdays, 7pm ~ A small but stalwart group of readers is tackling the great Ulysses by James Joyce.  Many have named this book the greatest piece of literature in English written in the 20th Century.  It's a lengthy tome though, and the group support and literary interpretative guides are helpful.  Want to know what all the fuss is about?  Feel free to join us, newcomers are welcome to this informal group. Austeniana Club ~ fourth Thursdays, 7pm ~ The Austen book club has already worked through the six novels by Jane Austen, but is now working on spin-offs, inspirations and posthumously published works by Austen, including the Fitzwilliam Darcy trilogy and Lady Susan.  Interested in talking Austen?  Join us. Want to start a book club or have your book club meet at Loganberry? Ask Harriett.
