Jam Cellar presents…The Blue Crescent Syncopators live at Glen Echo! February 18th!

Celebrating Valentines' Day on Valentines Day is so…predictable. How about surprising your loved ones by having TWO Valentines days and taking your significant other out to Glen Echo for The Blue Crescent Syncopators concert. Or, if you have no significant other, perhaps you will meet one at the dance.* The Blue Crescent Syncopators play from the heart…and usually without music. Musicians include Gary Gregg (clarinet), Pete Ostle, Tom Baldwin (bass), Frank Cocuzzi, Brian Alpert (drums), Dave Sager (trombone), and Craig Gildner (guitar, piano, cornet, vox). All the greatest jazz tunes of the 20s and 30s done up right with some spice and swing – perfect for dancing. Save the date for our next huge Glen Echo dance February 18th. Saturday, February 18, 2012 – 8:00pm –Free hour-long beginner lesson; 9 to midnight, dancing. Admission: $16. Presented in cooperation with the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts & Culture, Inc., the National Park Service and Montgomery County, MD. *—(Jam Cellar, Inc. does not guarantee romantic interaction with dance admission.)
