The Great American Songbook: A Concert with Ted Jellinek and the Cape Cod All-Star Jazz Band (Falmouth Jewish Congregation Summer Series)

The Falmouth Jewish Congregation 2012 Summer Series opens with a concert of music from the Great American Songbook with Ted Jellinek and his Cape Cod Jazz All-Stars. Enjoy complimentary refreshments, seating at tables, and dancing to the music of Gershwin, Berlin, and Ellington.

The evening's musicians come from the Cape's great jazz scene:

  • Steve Ahern:    jazz trumpeter who keeps a busy musical schedule in both Florida and Cape Cod
  • Bob Higgins:   vocalist of jazz standards and Irish songs
  • Laird Boles:    perhaps the most in-demand jazz bass player on the Cape
  • Bart Weisman:   outstanding drummer and jazz impresario, who has re-invigorated Cape Cod jazz; also leads a klezmer ensemble
  •  Ted Jellinek, jazz pianist

The Summer Series is open to the public and welcoming to all. Purchase a Season Pass for added convenience and a discount: $36 / $50 non-members for all six events on Tuesday evening in July and on August 21 and 28. See a full schedule on the FJC website: www.falmouthjewish.org.
