String of Pearls

Notes from Land's End

August 8th, 2011

The ivories are tinkling, with sultry voices filling the air in venues all over town in the coming weeks. Broadway stars and jazz greats mingle with local chanteuses, making for a splendid line-up of performances.

“I am a very lucky man”, says Bart Weisman, director of the 7th Annual Provincetown Jazz Festival this August 12th and 13th.

He’s quite excited to be back in the lovingly restored Town Hall, the perfect spot for this event. He reports: “We can't wait to return and we will have balcony seating and air conditioning for the first time.”

Don’t miss a String of Pearls, with vocalists Holli Ross, Sue Halloran and Jeanne O’Connor back with their signature bebop style.

Accompanied by Fred Boyle on piano, Laird Boles on bass and Bart himself on the drums, this concert and festival is sure to please.
