Jazz on the Beach
What do veteran bandleader and drummer Chico Hamilton (right), innovative trombonist and seashellist Steve Turre, drummer and vocalist T.S. Monk and acclaimed saxophonist Greg Osby all have in common? Aside from being long-time creative forces in the music we call jazz, all of the above will be performing at the Chicken Bone Beach Historical Foundation's 6th annual Jazz on the Beach concert series this summer in Atlantic City. The legendary Hamilton kicks off the series Thursday, July 7, followed by Turre - a master of the conch shell and long-time Saturday Night Live bandleader - the following Thursday. The concerts take place every Thursday (7-10pm) through August 25 at Kennedy Plaza on the Boardwalk near the Missouri Avenue beach that was declared an historical landmark in 1997. For further info and complete schedule details go to www.chickenbonebeach.org.

Branch to Branch
Listen up, WXPN listeners. Head over to Somers Point this Saturday night, July 9, and catch the unique pop sounds of veteran rockers Shaking Tree, a band that proves you can mix the Pogues, the Goo Goo Dolls and that mid-90s pop sound (remember Del Amitri?) together into a tasty batter of acousticky, Celtic-tinged modern rock. In support of their new CD, Familiar, the hard-working quartet - and one-time house band on The Jenny Jones Show - brings its radio-friendly tunes to taprooms, breweries and bars across the country this summer, from their Midwestern home of Kansas to the Bubba Mac Shack this Saturday night at 11pm.

Pickin' the Blues
If you think a "buy one, get one free" deal on blueberries at the supermarket is a steal, here's a better alternative. Instead of paying $3.99 for two pints of berries, why not spend 40 minutes picking the blues yourself at Allen's Family farm in Dennis Twp. After a mild spring the berries were a bit late this year, but they are ripe for the picking right now. On a recent visit, we snagged six pounds of blues equal to at least 12 pints, probably more. At 85 cents a pound, that comes to $5.10 (not counting what we ate as we picked), plus the enjoyment of a relaxing outdoor activity. Allen Family Farm, off Route 605, is open daily. For directions call 861-3778 or e-mail allenfarm1@snip.net.
"Yeah, we are a rock band and I love getting the whole band together and cranking up the Marshalls as loud as they’ll go and doing that whole thing. But ultimately, it is about the songs and can I sit down with an acoustic guitar and play that song and convey the same message? That’s important. And if I can’t do that, what’s the point?"
