THE INFO THAT FOLLOWS IS COURTESY OF ELAINE CROVITZ , "MAMA JAZZ"

Subject: New Jazz Series at The Station in Carrboro
 

The Station in Carrboro has re-opened under new management and they are
looking to bring back the jazz scene there like it was in the 80's with
Brother Yusuf, Bus Brown, Steve Wing and the many, many other fine
musicians who played there every Sunday. We're starting with Seven
Saturday afternoons at 2:00 PM beginning July 16. The complete lineup is
still being worked on but the first show on July 16 will be Steve Wing -
piano and vocals, Beverly Botsford - percussion, Allison Weiner -
melodica, piano, vocals, Ed Butler - drums, Robbie Link - bass.
Upcoming shows will feature Scott Sawyer - guitar, Frankie Alexander and
Friends, Pete Goldberg - guitar, The Bucket Brothers in a special young
people's show, and a special tribute to the music of Brother Yusuf Salim
and Bus Brown  featuring several rarely performed jazz sextets composed
by Brother Yusuf.
There will be more information on The Station's website -

If this series is successful we hope it will continue into the Fall so
please tell your friends and come out and help make it a success.
There is no cover charge, it is during all-ages hours so young people
are welcome. The Station is currently a "private club" since they are
not yet serving food so there is a small lifetime membership fee for
adults. Their website says it is $5.00
