Leonia Democratic Mayoral Candidate John DeSimone and Council Candidates Gil Hawkins and Doug Salmon will kick-off their fall campaign with a “Jazz Supper Club” on Saturday Evening, September 17th, from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., at the home of Carol Franklin, 433 Highwood Avenue in Leonia.
The event will feature a performance by The Harlem Blues and Jazz Band. In addition to the candidates, special guests will include Lou Stellatto, chairman of the Bergen County Democratic Committee and other elected county and state officials.
The Harlem Blues and Jazz Band was founded in 1973 by King Oliver's trombonist/blues singer Clyde Berhardt and jazz aficionado Dr. Al Vollmer. The group’s main mission is to keep the significant side-men of the Classic Jazz Period working and not forgotten. These exciting “originals,” some of whom actually “jumped” at the Woodside and “stomped” at the Savoy, have earned the title “world’s most authentic swing band.”
The “Jazz Supper Club” is a ticketed event. To make reservations or for further information, please call 201-461-6906. A donation of $35 is requested to support Leonia’s Democratic Slate who are running on a platform of “integrity, openness, and respect for the entire community.”
