Ocean County College Concert Band
Musical Milestones
Musical Milestones will be a concert of significant and influential music that has made its mark on the sounds that we call classical or pop. Which will be your favorite? Will it be John Phillip Sousa, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frank Sinatra, Alan J. Lerner, Leroy Anderson, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong or some other immortal? As we celebrate these musical milestones, the OCC Concert Band will be celebrating one of its own-the completion of 30 years of service to the Ocean County community. Join us as we share this milestone together!

Jim Fryer with Bria Skonberg
NY trombone ace Jim Fryer brings West Coast trumpet
sensation Bria Skonberg and their rhythm section to
MidWeek Jazz, celebrating their new CD release. Jim
is a seasoned player, touring with several popular
bands both in North America and in Europe, while still
playing with Vince Giordano's acclaimed Nighthawks
when in NYC. This is a rare opportunity to hear Bria
though. She has the power and reach of Louis Armstrong,
with a huge repertoire that includes complex material
not often played here in the East. All this in a strikingly
youthful package that assures an extended future for
classic jazz.
Wednesday, May 7-8:00 p.m.
Bucky Pizzarelli with Jerry Bruno
Legendary guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli has filled a
lot of seats for MidWeek Jazz previous visits, since
his playing career has allowed him to work with top
musicians over decades. This time he'll be backed
only by swinging bassist, Jerry Bruno. They're the
perfect pair for the intimate Mancini Hall, where
the audience can get up close and personal with the
musicians, and the delicacy of a string presentation
is not lost. Still playing a full schedule in his
80's, Bucky was pleased to fit this date into his
calendar between international tours.
Wednesday, June 25-8:00 p.m.
"Boogie" Bob Seeley
Boogie Woogie champion and stride pianist Bob Seeley returns. Last year the audience wouldn't let him stop playing! "Seeley is a force of nature," insists Dick Hyman, a wondrous player himself. One critic, in awe of Seeley's stride and boogie woogie technique, titled his review "A Terrifying Left Hand." Bob is revered in Europe, where these hot piano styles are popular with young people, even today. His concerts are sprinkled with some stride, blues and even a bit of ragtime, to change the pace.
