Sid Parker brought his quintet and vocalist Roberta De Muro to the West Boca Library Wednesday, March 25 for another free concert sponsored by the Swing & Jazz Preservation Society, Inc.
The small meeting room was filled with more than 70 fans of swing and jazz who were rewarded with an hour of vocal and instrumental treats by the talented musicians.
Parker, on tenor sax; Johnny Amoroso, trumpet and vocals; Joe Belanger, drums; Al Ferrari, bass fiddle; Sonny Marusso, keyboard player and husky voiced vocalist Roberta De Muro.
Al Ferrari sings "Time After Time" to his wife who was in the audience. He should make a recording of that number, he does it so well!
Saturday, March 26, Sid Parker brings the group to the Hagen Ranch Road Library. The Library has distributed all the free tickets available for the 200 seat auditorium. It's a sell out! Ticket holders you're in for a treat!
