Just a quick reminder about the Library's "Musical Weekend"

B.D. Lenz Trio – Saturday, April 3rd at 1:00 p.m.

Jazz fusion guitarist B.D. Lenz forged his identity by combining his background in mathematics with his knowledge of music theory to produce the right combination of grooves and melodies. Lenz, who grew up in West Milford, NJ, discovered jazz relatively late in his life. He first encountered it at a clinic given by jazz guitarist Mike Stern at the Musician's Institute in Hollywood, CA, where Lenz studied in a one-year music program from 1989-1990. Lenz didn't perform in public, concentrating instead on learning guitar and music theory during his year in California. Since then, he’s gone on to record three compact discs, Tell the World (1997) Lost and Found (1999), and Simple Life (2003).

Thanks to all who came out to attend the concert by the Odessa Klezmer band on Saturday, March 20th. This was our largest audience yet for a musical performance, well over 100 poeple.

Don't forget this Saturday's free programs, a presentation and reading by mystery author Karen Swee and the ever-popular Board Game club!
