BOOTHBAY HARBOR — The Novel Jazz Septet will be returning to the Opera House of Boothbay Harbor on Friday 8 August, 7:30 p.m. for an evening of classic jazz by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, two pillars of the jazz world. They’ll play both wellknown standards plus lesserknown compositions, recently transcribed from original scores at the Smithsonian and arranged for the band. The band features jazz musicians Barney Balch (trombone), Wells Gordon (bass), Mike Mitchell (trumpet), Mickey Felder (piano), Mark Macksoud (drums) and Dave Clarke (guitar). You can learn more about the band at their web site, www.mainejazz.net. This evening of music is being generously sponsored by J. Edward Knight Insurance Company. Come out and hear the Novel Jazz Septet… keeping the spirit of Duke and Sweet Pea alive and swinging! Dancing not only allowed but encouraged! The Opera House is located at 86 Townsend Ave., Boothbay Harbor.
Tickets can be purchased in person at the box office during normal business hours, or over the phone at (207) 633-5159, or online at: http://www.boothbayoperahouse.com/
