Cafeteria Jazz

An overflow crowd at Staples High School tonight was treated to a winter jazz concert, titled “Jazz and Java.” According to first year music director Phil Giampietro (r),“Our brand new student-led combo and our jazz ensemble performed in a less formal ‘coffeehouse’ setting.” Giampietro told the attendees, “It is the first performance of the year, and it is a sort of preview performance for the jazz festivals and competitions coming up in March.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
