Hi Brian & Listmates;

This year and every year for the past 37 years, The New Jersey Jazz
Society runs The Pee Wee Russell Memorial Stomp. It will be held on March
4th at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany, NJ, USA from Noon to 5PM. The
bands are  Kevin Dorn's Traditional Jazz Collective, The Smith Street
Society Jazz Band, Vince Giordano's Nighthawks, and Dick Voigt's Big
Apple Jazz Band. 

The press releases do not mention it is the 100th anniversary of Pee
Wee's birth. Maybe they forgot. The website is www.njjs.org
