Greetings – That’s beautiful spirit Shamarr Allen up there blowing his trumpet. Give his photo a click and see if you don’t start smiling at his Quarantine Chill. Gratitude to Shamarr for bringing the party no matter how tight the walls closed in over the last year. I want to see you all dancing like the folks in the video when he and his band take the stage on Friday night!

Thanks to all of you who have tried out CaffeLena.TV. Our most watched vault shows of the past week were Anne Hampton Callaway, The Gibson Brothers, and Chuck Lamb with Chico Freeman. Sounds like we’ve got some jazz fans hanging out in that vault! And our top live stream of the week was enduring favorite Bill Staines.

See you at the show,
Sarah

Captain Fun Lunchtime Listening Hour
With DJ Chuck Vosganian & Curator Sarah Craig

Bring a lunch and relax with an hour of music and stories.
You may have noticed those big purple record shelves in our lobby? That record collection belonged to the late Al “Captain Fun” McKenney and every record in it was like a friend to him. Once a month we invite someone to dig into the collection and find an hour of music to rekindle memories. Sarah speaking here: This month I’m taking a turn picking the songs! My playlist will include some of Al’s favorites.

Don Armstrong embodies the heart and soul of Caffe Lena. He grew up here in this room and began playing on stage as a young man. He now makes his home on the other side of the country and his annual pilgrimage back to Saratoga is a highlight of our fall season. He continues to write new songs and collaborate with new partners. You’ll hear rich vocal blends, adept playing, spiritual and playful ballads, and laughter–lots and lots of laughter.
