From:
Anthony
Subject: Sunday Salsa Picnics starting this
Sunday
6/23
Salseros and Salseras,
You are all invited to the
first of the weekly Salsa
picnics in the park.
Salsa + weekend +
outdoors + free + volunteer + Salsa
= SalsaJam!
SALSAJAM is a potluck
picnic in the park on Sundays at
3:30 pm. The picnic is totally free and
totally
volunteer. Bring Your Own Salsa, as in music, food,
drinks (zero
alcohol).
SalsaJam is in JFK Park near Harvard Square every
fair
weather Sunday that Memorial Drive is closed. Why?
Because skaters,
cyclists, and runners go to Memorial
Drive, leaving the fountain in JFK Park
an ideal place
for outdoor Salsa dancing.
SalsaJam is a picnic: We
eat, we dance, we eat, we
dance...
SalsaJam is potluck: Bring food and
drink (no alcohol,
no kidding). Bring your favorite Salsa
CDs.
SalsaJam is volunteer: It happens because participants
want it to
happen. We'll leave the area cleaner than
we find it. To volunteer to
assist in carrying in
supplies and running the picnic for a
particular
Sunday, come to the first one or
email
salsajam2002@yahoo.com
SalsaJam is a family affair: Are you not
going to
Salsa clubs because you are too young, too old, can't
find a baby
sitter, can't stand the smoke? All are
reasons to SalsaJam.
SalsaJam
is fun: See it for yourself!
When is it? Sundays during the summer, from
3:30 to 6
pm.
Where is it? Around the fountain in JFK Park which
is
behind the Charles Hotel in Harvard Square. By subway,
get off at the
Harvard Square stop and walk towards
the river on JFK Street. JFK Park is on
the right
before you reach Memorial Drive. To get to the
fountain, walk
along the back side of the brick
building (Harvard Kennedy School) and you'll
run into
it. Note that Memorial Drive is closed to car traffic
on Sundays
during the summer, so if you are driving,
you'll want to avoid
that.

questions or want to help with the
picnics, write to

TONY PEREZ CUBAN JAZZ!
Tony Perez - piano (Cuban Grammy
Award winning pianist from the group
Irakere)
Bob Gullotti - drums (The
Fringe)
Tony Betancourt - guitar (recently recorded with Merl Saunders and
members
of
The Band)
John Lockwood - bass (The Fringe)
Gregorio
Vento - conga (Master Conquero from Cuba)
Already considered one
of Cuba's best musicians, the 28 year old artist,
jazz
musician, arranger,
showman, creative entity and rebel student of Cuba's
National School of Arts
has proven time and again he has versatility well
beyond
his years. During
a session between Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Tony Perez,
witnessed
by Producer
Claude Ayi Ajavon in Havana's first jazz club, La Zorra y
el
Cuervo,
Ajavon is transfixed by Perez's performance. While he considers
Rubalcaba
Cuba's
best jazz improvisor, Perez shines as an exceptional
talent. In late 1998,
Tony
performs in Europe with artists such as Paco
Sery from the Zawinul Syndicate
and
Ruben Dantas from the Paco de Lucia
sextet. That year he was chosen by
Chucho
Valdes to lead Irakere in all
their European and American tours. Joining him
for
a night of
extraordinary improvisational music will be John Lockwood and Bob
Gullotti
from Boston's own The Fringe on bass and drums, Gregorio Vento on
congas and
Tony Betancourt on
guitar
