BETHEL – Those Jazz Guys will perform popular jazz standards at The Sudbury Inn Saturday, April 7. Local musicians James McLaughlin and Tom Zicarelli and Don Williams and Jerry Barry will take audience members on a sentimental jazz journey for two sets from 7 to 10 p.m.
McLaughlin has been involved in music education as a private piano/theory instructor and clinician for many years. He has enjoyed a freelance-performing career playing nationally and internationally in such venues as The Rainbow Room and Don’t Tell Mamma in New York City, and the Foncleau in Rome, Italy. He has shared the stage with such notables as Randy Brecker, Chris Vidala, Dick Johnson and Clarke Terry.
Zicarelli has been a bandleader, composer, teacher of music and technology – and has even spent a year as a weather observer atop Mount Washington. He composed the title track for a new Molly Flannery Quintet album, “Slow Dance at the Asylum,” playing the saxophone on most of the album’s songs.
Williams is a full-time musician based out of Plymouth, N.H., where he also gives private instruction at the Concord Community School. Barry is a jazz performer/drummer with the band Raccoon Beach from Windham. His appearances include the Newport Jazz Festival at Saratoga, New York, The Blue Note in New York City and Ryles Jazz Club in Boston. Barry has studied drumming with renowned instructor, performer and recording artist Bob Gullotti.
