Wine Press Concert: Rare Groove Band
Saturday, August 16, 6:00pm (rain or shine)
Pindar Vineyards, Main Road, Peconic
"Summer evenings not to be forgotten begin with a concert surrounded by the picturesque vineyards of the East End. Returning to the East End after rave reviews from the Winterfest, join band members James Miceli (Tenor Sax), Rod Borrie (trombone), Pete Campo (guitar), John DeWitt (organ), Jeff Brown (bass) and Kevin Twigg (drums) for an evening made for dancing and grooving.
The term "Rare Groove" originated in the late 1980s, referring to a renewed interest in the jazz-funk of the 1970s. Sometimes referred to as soul jazz, it's music drawn from jazz but steeped in blues, made by a number of great (although often relatively unknown) musical masters. It's jazz with an emphasis on the beat—the groove—that makes people smile and want to get up and dance. This music sounds fresh today because its blend of organ, horns, guitar, drums and bass creates an infectious danceability. After all, this was party music that was played not in the concert hall, but in neighborhood clubs as its artists traveled the various circuits in support of their recordings. Much of this music has historical significance as the original source that has been sampled and reused by today's hip hop artists. So, it's rare music not widely heard today (or even when it first came out), and it grooves, so it's rare groove."

About Our Calendar Listings:

With the exception of our sponsors' events, the NorthForkParents.com calendar listings are for community organizations offering events and programs for North Fork families. In general, we try to list events that are open to the general public and not limited to exclusive constituencies. We wouldn't want to disappoint anyone, especially the children! We would be happy, however, to provide links to organizations' web sites who offer additional events to its own constituents.
