We are pleased to Announce Michael Bogart and Joe Corsello!

In addition to touring and recording with Tower of Power, Bogart has worked with Aerosmith, Neil Diamond and recorded music for video games based on the Dragon Ball Z cartoon franchise.

However, he always kept a foot in the door with the Navy. He worked with their music program and did recruiting. In 2009 he returned to the Navy.

While there he got to play trumpet for former President Jimmy Carter. Carter is a U.S. Naval Academy alumni, and was attending his class reunion where Bogart was playing.

Afterward, Carter had requested to meet with Bogart to tell him how much he appreciated his playing.

Sets at 7:30pm and 8:45pm $15 cover.  Reservations strongly suggested.  JazzatThePost@gmail.com or call Stephanie for reservations and dinner reservations at 475-298-5079

Veterans Day is a time to honor and remember the sacrifices of our veterans. As Veterans Day approaches, communities come together to pay their respects to the men and women who have served in the armed forces.

Calise’s Deli located at 734 Post Road East, is offering free poppies on 11/5-11/8 and 11/10 from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. The poppy is a powerful symbol of remembrance, and it’s wonderful to see support for this tradition. A special thank you to Nancy Kondub-Harris, VFW Post 399 Auxiliary Poppy Chair, and Nancy Dabinett Mills Austin, Junior Vice-President, for their efforts in preserving this tradition (pictured above).

As Veterans Day approaches, let’s remember to take a moment to honor and thank the veterans who have served their country, and consider wearing a poppy as a symbol of gratitude and remembrance.
