The Greenburgh Public Library has a number of terrific events always happening at the library. Once a month, Frank DeLigio leads a group of jazz fans through a marvelous journey of jazz discussions about jazz musicians, discussing the musician's life, music, contributions and participation in the industry. This weekend hold even more in store as Mr DeLigio and his participants - open to everyone - discuss the life and times of jazz pianist Earl Rudolph "Bud" Powell. Below is the information for the event. Take a bit of time to kick back and have a listen and talk about what you hear. It always promises to be a fun afternoon!
On Sunday, there will be a live performance by the Art Lillard group, the On Time Trio in the large meeting room off of the main lobby. This also promises to be an enjoyable afternoon.
See you at the library!
