Jazz/R&B: Jammin’ at the J (1/28)

By Ron Netsky on January 24, 2012

The Swooners excavate the Great American Songbook with no shortage of swing. The Bob Sneider Trio is upstate New York's premier hard-bop guitar combo. Keyboardist-vocalist Todd East combines the styles of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder in his R&B repertoire. And the University of Rochester YellowJackets take a cappella harmonies to new heights. They'll all be living up to the program's title Saturday night at Jammin' at the J, the annual gala benefiting the Jewish Community Center.

Jammin' at the J takes place Saturday, January 28, 7:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center, 1200 Edgewood Ave. $150-$200. 461-2000, ext. 213.
