Space is limited to six or seven volunteers each workday, so be sure to contact Mary at mcgeewest@gmail.com as soon as possible. We’ll carpool to East Orange from the First Congregational Church parking lot at 9 a.m. and return at approximately 2 p.m.”

The next show on the Outpost lineup is is the Christian McBride Trio on Friday, Feb. 13, alongside guest Melissa Walker. According to the Outpost website, “Bassist extraordinaire, composer, arranger, educator, curator and administrator, Christian McBride, has been one of the most important and most omnipresent figures in the jazz world for 20 years. Sometimes hard to believe considering this man is not yet 40. Beginning in 1989, this Philadelphia-born bassist moved to New York City to further his classical studies at the Juilliard School, only to be snatched up by alto saxophonist, Bobby Watson.”

Plan out your Outpost season, get ready for some amazing shows and help give back to the community!
