[Dixielandjazz] PLAYING WITH KIDS

[Stephen Barbone]

Here is an example of an email sent today to jazz fans, clients, venues
in our performance area. I'll follow up with press releases, flyers and
other promotion as we get closer to the performance date. FYI "Super
Sunday" in West Chester normally draws 5 to 10,000 people. This year it
is being sponsored in large measure by QVC and they are aiming for
15,000 attendees.

For those Festival Managers on the List who might be interested in
contacting Jonathan. His website is at the end of this post. 

Cheers,
Steve Barbone

SAVE THE DATE - SUPER SUNDAY - JUNE 6 - WEST CHESTER

There's a new kid coming to town. JONATHAN RUSSELL. He plays Jazz Violin
in the tradition of Stephane Grappelli and Joe Venuti.

He will be performing with The Barbone Street Jazz Band from 1:00 PM to
3:00 PM on Gay Street, West Chester PA, during the Super Sunday event. 

SO WHAT???????????

Well, Jonathan is 8 Years old and in the 3rd Grade.

Make no mistake, HE PLAYS IMPROVISED HOT JAZZ EXTREMELY WELL. We'll have
to be at our best just to keep up with him.

He is also a composer.

He also sings.

He is now an extraordinary Hot Jazz / Swing player.

He will soon be an extraordinary Modern Jazz Player on the tradition of
Bird and Trane.

>From there, who knows?

Come see for yourself. Sunday June 6, Gay Street, Downtown West Chester.
(Bring the kids)

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
