It is a pleasure to see a paper that reports the news instead of making the news.

Special to WPCNR:January 26th is going to start "big" and will close even "bigger."From 6:00 PM on to about 10:00 PM, Journey Arts Music Society (J.A.M.S.) will present two bands that are certain to scintillate your musical senses, at the Westchester Arts Council on Mamaroneck Avenue.
The Westchester County Youth Jazz Combo, comprised of
seven emerging performers between the ages of fourteen
to fifteen will recreate the passion and zeal we so
appreciate in young performers. Their repertoire will
scan a diverse musical arena ranging from jazz to Big
Band, blues to Dixieland.
The Westchester County Youth Jazz Combo is an offshoot
of the Big Band to which they are part. They formed
only a few months ago under Music Director, Scott
Castle and Ensemble Coordinator, Joseph Jacoby.
Tenor saxophonists Brian Sheridan and Robert Jacoby,
accompany Skyler Roswell on Trombone, Eric Sherman on
Trumpet, Paulo Farqui on Bass, Sam Sherman on Drums
and Keji Ishiguri on Piano/Keyboard.
Too talented to stay at home to the delight of their parents and
relatives, these young men and one woman demand to be
heard by a wider audience. And so they shall. Thanks
Moms and Dads!
2, that's right -- 2 bands for the price of 1!
The "big" sound of the Westchester County Youth Jazz Combo is followed to the stage by JUMP-START Big Band. They were created because of the belief that that there is an appreciative audience out there that yearns for the great songs of the big bands that rocked the dance halls in the 30's, 40's and 50's.
With this desire and determination, the Jump-Start Big Band formed less than three years ago, but the dream started with four sax players more than four years ago.
They diligently practiced in a hot, top floor music room at the home of one of the musicians. Sound familiar? As the big band resurgence took hold, more talented musicians came out of the proverbial woodwork to create the big sounding group that delights audiences today.
They now rehearse in a large, modern auditorium. On January 26th, they will perform at the new home of the Westchester Arts Council located at 31 Mamaroneck Avenue, in White Plains, NY.
Turn back the hands of time for just one night!
A big band is only as good as its charts and musicians. The JUMP-START Big Band charts are the original versions of the greats of the era: Harry James' SLEEPY LAGOON, Artie Shaw's BEGIN THE BEGUINE, Glen Miller's IN THE MOOD and hundreds MORE!! The
Jump-Start BIG BAND musicians have played on Broadway, in Las Vegas, on Channel 13 and cable television, at Carnegie Hall, and at nightclubs around the country.
The JUMP-START Big Band has top-notch musicians, the best charts, and a great love and respect for the music of the big band era. Join the fun. Dance the night away to the accompaniment of the JUMP-START Big Band.
To delight your other senses, Greyston Bakery cakes will be served with coffee, tea, bottled water and soda. Free coffee refills encouraged.
Journey Arts Music Society (J.A.M.S.), founded by Donovan Guy, is located at 31 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 707, in White Plains, NY, 10601. For more information, please contact (914) 671-2985 or e-mail
