Fogel in his Margate home.
Margate resident and Hammond B3 jazz organist Dan Fogel is back by popular demand to perform at the 11th annual Chicken Bone Beach Concert Series in Atlantic City.
The free weekly concert series held at Kennedy Plaza on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, located between Mississippi and Georgia avenues (adjacent to Boardwalk Hall), has had another successful year and closes with a final concert featuring the 18-member NYC Finest Jazz Band. Fogel and his quartet, which includes Fogel on Hammond B3 organ and vocals, Pete Chavez on tenor sax, O’Donel Levy on guitar and Webb Thomas on drums, will open the show Thursday, Aug. 12, starting at 7pm.
Fogel has been playing the Atlantic City club scene for nearly 50 years.

The Chicken Bone Beach Historical Foundation and the Atlantic City Free Public Library present the series.
The NYC Finest Jazz Band is an ensemble of full-time New York City police officers. The band performs all styles of jazz music, including swing, dixieland, bebop, cool jazz, Latin jazz, and the blues.
