This is the final show in the ten-part Big Three-O series and what a journey it's been from show #1 to #10.  We've progressed from pre-Covid 19 days to a time when the entire world seems to be shut off from person to person contact.  How is our Berks Jazz Fest family handling it?  With a smile and a progression towards the brighter days ahead.  In this show finale we'll hear some music that was performed live during livestream home studio concerts and we'll hear from Berks Jazz Fest general manager John Ernesto about plans to offer fabulous concert videos from historic past festival performances.

We'll also feature the music of Erich Cawalla, Bennie Sims, Cliff Starkey, Brian Culbertson, Pieces of a Dream and New Foundation.  Mike Anderson will share some memorable BJF concert moments with The Turtle Island String Quartet and Big Three-O show host Dave Kline will have a great chat with Bennie Sims, the 2020 Berks Arts Council / Berks Jazz Fest Frankie Scott Award recipient.

Here's show #9 of 10 in The Big Three-O series and it features Pieces of a Dream, Diane Dayton getting Brian Culbertson to share something new about himself, Mike Anderson with a great musical memory of Bela Fleck performing with Bruce Hornsby, an interview segment between BJF GM John Ernesto and host Dave Kline remembering fest participants such as Frankie Scott, Bennie Simms, Erich Cawalla, Mike Eben, Trading Four, Trey Larue, Josh Taylor, Chris Heslop, Cliff Starkey, Al Leader, Hank Hoffman, Mike Anderson, Rev. Dr. Harry Serio and others.  We close with a set of music by Chuck Loeb.  Enjoy and please share.  

Heck of a great show this week with Reading Liederkranz president Mike Feeney, a live concert by Walt Groller, a phone chat with Alex Meixner, a phone chat with Jimmy Sturr and two hours of happy music.  Stop listening to the news for a few hours and get your smile back on.  Cheers!
