Saxophonist
Charles Neville

...And Live Jazz!

Saturday, October 11 ~ Noon to 4pm
Charles Neville
New! Charles Neville comes to Paradise City! This Neville Brothers saxophonist has always added an indefinable something to the family ensemble. His brothers affectionately refer to him as 'The Horn Man'. His saxophone solo won him a Grammy in 1989 and his repertoire includes rhythm & blues, funk, jazz, be-bop, popular and even Native American music. He travels all over the world, but now makes his home in Western Massachusetts.

Sunday, October 12 ~ Noon to 4pm
Primate Fiasco
New! Primate Fiasco has wowed the crowds at Northampton's renowned Iron Horse with their funky take on Dixieland jazz. They are one of the region's hottest young bands, but younger still is the 17- year-old 'genius' jazz vocalist Luke Averill. With his deep baritone and a style reminiscent of Django Rhinehart and Louis Armstrong, Averill takes the stage between Primate Fiasco's sets.

Monday, October 13 ~ 11:30am to 3:30pm
Quetzal
Paradise City welcomes back the Quetzal Quartet. Their spirited Latin sound with strains of music from the Andes is a Columbus Day treat.

Paradise City's exhibitors Breast Form Fund Logo have donated over 100 beautiful and valuable works of art, and a different selection of donations will be on display each day at the Silent Auction Tables in the Arena Building.

So join the throngs of eager bidders, take home a one-of-a-kind find and support a worthy cause at the same time.
