About the event
Greater Ashmont Main Street and Mandorla Music Series are very pleased to co-present the 2019-2020 Dot Jazz Series at Peabody Hall in the Parish of All Saints Ashmont. Dot Jazz will take place on the second Thursday of the month from September 2019 until May 2020, with the exception of April when we'll be on the third Thursday. Doors will open at 7pm. Our February event will feature the new project Book of Fire, a collaboration between guitarist Eric Hofbauer and bassist Tony Leva. The two create a unique soundscape in this 5-part suite for guitar, bass, turntables and samples inspired by the writings and speeches of James Baldwin. The evening will also likely feature additional solo and duo pieces by Hofbauer and Leva.
