We're kicking off the season of food and family with Clint Baker's WNH Jazz All Stars! As you may, or may not know, Clint Baker and WNH go way, way back -- he knows our dancers' tastes well and brings together the musicians to delight our ears, feet, and souls. With Don Neely on reeds, Bill Reinhart on bass, Riley Baker on drums, Nirav Sanghani and Nick Rossi on guitars (yes, folks, two guitars!), Clint Baker on trumpet, and Jessica King on vocals -- what a better band to inspire our J&J finalists to battle it all out in the final round! Come to dance, come to watch and cheer, come to get inspired!
