Bebop Into the Bayfest with Benny Benack III
2022-04-28 19:00 | NJ
On April 28th, South Jersey Jazz Society presents “Bebop into the Bayfest with Benny Benack III.” Benny will perform one show at The Gateway Playhouse at 7PM.
By age 30, trumpeter and singer Benny Benack III has proven to be that rarest of talents: not only a fiery trumpet player with a stirring command of the postbop trumpet vernacular in the vein of Kenny Dorham and Freddie Hubbard, but also a singer with a sly, mature, naturally expressive delivery in the post-Sinatra mold, performing standards and his own astute songs with a thrilling sense of showmanship. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of originally composed vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics). On top of it all, he’s a highly capable pianist as well.

The AJ Meerwald and the New Jersey Oyster Industry
2022-04-10 17:00 | NJ
The AJ Meerwald and the New Jersey Oyster Industry.

Co-authors Connie McCart and Rachel Dolhanczyk of the Bayshore Center at Bivalve will share highlights from the new book that charts the history of New Jersey’s Delaware Bay oysters and the historic ship that carries the industry’s traditions today.
The AJ Meerwald is a restored Delaware Bay new style schooner that was built to dredge oysters under sail, but saw a lifetime of change come full circle. She served the US Coast Guard during World War II, returned to oystering under power for 10 years, was converted to dredge clams and then was let to rot in Maryland before being saved in 1986 by John Gandy and the Bayshore Center at Bivalve (BCB). BCB was founded in 1988 and is New Jersey’s only environmental history museum and the home port of the Schooner AJ Meerwald, New Jersey’s official tall ship, with a mission to further the understanding of the human impact on the environment. Located on a working waterfront, BCB operates the Delaware Bay Museum in the Oyster Shipping Sheds dating back to 1904. From our wharves, patrons have an unspoiled view of the beauty of the Maurice River, a National Wild and Scenic River, and get to watch oystermen navigate the river as osprey and bald eagles soar overhead. https://www.bayshorecenter.org/
