Generations of Jazz Presented at Springfield Library

Event features 13-year-old trumpet prodigy Geoff Gallante.

The Springfield Public Library is presenting a musical offering at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

In conjunction with the library's "Topics of Current Interest" discussion group, the program will be performed by members of the New Jersey Jazz Society and features 13-year-old trumpet prodigy Geoff Gallante.

Vocalist Pam Purvis and the Generations of Jazz will employ songs of the season as the basis for teaching about the different forms that jazz takes. As a special treat, the program will also include a holiday song "scat" lesson by Purvis, who guarantees an enjoyable experience for all who attend.
