Educational Activities
Discussion Group
On the second Thursday of every month , at 7:30PM, a group of jazz enthusiasts gathers at the Erie Art Museum Annex, to listen to and discuss jazz styles. Each individual comes with a CD and a cut from it they want to share and discuss with the group. Styles will range from dixieland, to big band, to contemporary. Charles Ventrello is the convener of the group. Very knowledgeable about jazz and himself a jazz performer (saxophone), Charles engages the participants in conversations about the music.
