The band LIVE AT THE FILLMORE is a favorite at NYC's The Cutting Room and is proud to perform the classic Allman Brothers album Eat A Peach in its entirety. As per band leader Lou Maresca: "LIVE AT THE FILLMORE is the continuation of our devotion to recreating the music of the original Allman Brothers Band as it was performed in those early years before the untimely deaths of Duane and Berry Oakley and the departure of Dickey Betts. Those years were the "glory days" of the Allman Brothers Band.”​​

Presented by the Vermont Jazz Center 7-8:30 pm Welcome to a new year of Zoom Tunes. It seems so strange that we are entering 2022 with so few occasions to play live music in safe environments. Zoom Tunes continues to provide an opportunity to learn new tunes and maintain relationships with musician-friends in a supportive atmosphere. The Zoom Tune for March 27 2022 is ‘Lullaby of Birdland’ by George Shearing https://vtjazz.org/birdlandzt/ ON-LINE; $15 per session HOSTS: We have three hosts – Malik McLaurine, Ben Barnett and Franz Robert. Eugene and Ginger will also be present. TO PREPARE: Beforehand - try playing the tune of the month along with the backing track mp3 found on the VJC’s website. You can use any other backing track you like, including iReal Pro or you can play the tune solo. WHEN & WHAT: On the last Sunday of each month from 7:00 – 8:30 pm EST Malik, Ben and Franz will be online to listen with other VJC community members to everyone’s version. Be sure to have your backing track cued up and ready to go. Each person will play the melody and then launch into their solo improvisation. After you have finished your improv, play the melody once more to complete your session. AND THEN... Malik, Franz, and Ben will guide us in a short conversation about your interpretation of the tune. Community participation in this process is encouraged. Focus topics could include positive comments about the performance as well as suggestions regarding style, improvisational options and helpful tips.

They also get to see castanets in-action and learn how to play them. The workshop culminates with a short dance combination that families can go home and perform together, ending with an energetic “Ole!”
