Bart Weisman hosts a monthly JazzJam on the third Sunday of every month at The Riverway Lobster House in Yarmouth. It starts at 4 PM and runs until 7. There is no cover charge. I was finally able to check it out (with Bob Aumueller and his wife, Jeanette, and my wife, Lynda) yesterday and had a fantastic time. Bart had a top notch rhythm section (Bart, Ron Ormsby, and Fred Boyle) who were augmented by many local instrumentalists and vocalists on a continuous rotating basis. Several of our Sound Dunes family were there including Mark Borgmann, John Shaw, and Doug Ricciardi. You can go and perform with the gang or you can just go and listen to some excellent live jazz.

Photos & Notes from the July 3, 2017 “Dennis Concert on the Green” Event
On July 3rd, The Sound Dunes Swing Ensemble (SDSE) headlined for the Dennis Independence Day Concert on the Green celebration. The event took place at the iconic Dennis Village Green Bandstand and was sponsored by the Dennis Village Improvement Society. The celebration was well-attended by families with children, both young and old alike. In addition to the Swing Music fare that we are most noted for (ex: In the Mood, Getting Sentimental Over You, etc.), SDSE performed a number of patriotic songs (God Bless America, Stars and Stripes Forever, etc.) in keeping with the upcoming holiday and a variety of more recently composed popular tunes (like YMCA and New York, New York) for some of the youngsters in the crowd.
Apart from SDSE, the show included a performance by the 4-part harmony a Capella group, “Who’s the Boss?” as well as their joint performance with the band of “Java Jive”, made famous in 1941 by The Ink Spots. The quartet charmed many in the audience with their humorous old-style tunes and surprise impromptu “choreography”.
It was a delightful evening for all with many of the smaller children enjoying donning free patriotic hats and waving flags. The children also seemed to enjoy interacting with the SDSE vocalists much to the delight of both Tom J and Linda D (our male and female vocalists).
Here are a few photos that we took during the SDSE performance from the July 3rd event….
Photos & Notes from the May 23, 2017 “Jammin’ @ the Rep” Event
On May 23rd, The Sound Dunes Swing Ensemble (SDSE) performed as one of several musical entertainment groups at the “Jammin’ @ the Rep” Fundraiser at the Cape Repertory Theater in Brewster. Funds collected during the event were contributed toward Lower Cape Outreach Council (LCOC) programs – HopeWorks, Pay It Forward, and Smart Money – designed to improve the work lives and earning potential of client households from Harwich to Provincetown.
This was the third straight year that SDSE has been asked to perform for this fundraiser by Larry Marsland, President of LCOC. It is great to know that our music is appreciated to that degree and SDSE band members were enthusiastic about performing for such a worthy cause.
Photos that were taken at the event by professional photographer Bill Pomeroy (Pomeroy Photography and Graphics) of the various performers at the event are posted at http://www.pomeroy-photo-graphics.com/…/CapeRep-jammin-at-t…
