AN EXTRAORDINARY GATHERING OF THE WORLD’S FINEST JAZZ MUSICIANS TO BE HELD AT THE WATERMILL CENTER ON SUNDAY, JUNE 28
“Jazz@Jennings,” the summer Jazz benefit held annually for eight years by the late ABC News anchor Peter Jennings and wife Kayce Freed Jennings, returns this summer as “Jazz for Jennings,” a jazz brunch to honor his memory and his unwavering support of the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center. On Sunday, June 28, twelve of the world’s greatest jazz musicians, including Christian McBride, Jon Faddis, Eric Reed and Delfeayo Marsalis, will perform under a tent during a memorable afternoon at the beautiful and historic Watermill Center. “Peter was dedicated to helping The Center because he appreciated what critical services it delivered to the families in the often over-looked local African-American and Latino communities. We started Jazz@Jennings at our home in 1996 in order to raise awareness and funding for The Center’s essential educational and recreational programs. But when J@J ended with Peter’s death 10 years ago, The Center lost not only a champion but a major source of support. It needs – and deserves – our attention again,” said Kayce Freed Jennings.
“Peter always said that jazz musicians are the most generous human beings on earth,” recalled Jennings “We’re humbled that many of the same world-class artists who donated their time and talent all those years ago are coming once again to play for Peter’s memory and for The Center. The setting will be spectacular, the food delicious, and the music glorious.” “Jazz for Jennings” is hosted by Kayce Freed Jennings with honorary co-chairs Tom Brokaw, Charlie Gibson, Ted Koppel, Dan Rather and Diane Sawyer. The event will be held from 12:30p-4p on Sunday, June 28, 2015, at the Watermill Center located at 39 Water Mill Towd Road in Watermill, New York.

About the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center
Born out of tragedy in 1949 after a migrant camp fire killed two children of seasonal workers, The Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center continues to serve the predominantly African-American and growing Latino population of the Bridgehampton area. For many working parents, The Center is a lifeline. Their children flourish in our many programs and play safely on the farm and fields donated to create The Center in the 50s.

For six decades Mavis Staples has been the solid rock of American music. Alongside the family group she is so identified with, the Staple Singers, Mavis has managed to transform herself as she goes – from the delta-inflected gospel sound she helped create in the 1950s (“Uncloudy Day”), to the engaged protest of the civil rights era (“Freedom Highway”), to a series of chart hits on 1970s pop radio (“I’ll Take You There”), and now to two gospel albums for the 21st century produced by Wilco leader Jeff Tweedy – the Grammy Award-winning You Are Not Alone and the Grammy-nominated One True Vine. Staples is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. Rolling Stone listed her as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. For more information: www.guildhall.org

Hamptons News Around town…six dollar drinks…
Hey there Hamptonites…Sorry for the delay, always so much happening in the Hamptons..
Page 63 has filed against the village of Sag Harbor. Gerard Wawryk, the longtime owner of the restaurant,died on April 12, a week after suffering a stroke. The surviving partner Joe Traina, Page at 63 Main, has been disputing with the Village of Sag Harbor for more than a year over its efforts to renovate and expand the business.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York on Wednesday, April 29, seeks $18.5 million from the village plus another $4 million in punitive damages from Mayor Brian Gilbride and the village’s former building inspector, Tim Platt, over what it charges was a systematic effort on the village’s part to block and delay its expansion efforts in part by removing documents from the Building Department’s file.
for more on this battle….read this article in the Sag Harbor Express
What is going on with all of these fires in the Hamptons…the newest addition to castrophes in the Hamptons is a massive fire that ripped through a Westhampton Beach condo complex in early April 2015.
The Flames engulfed multiple units of The Sandpiper at Westhampton complex located on Dune Road and the three-story building was completely destroyed by the fire, which caused the top two floors to collapse. Officials still have not determined the cause of the massive blaze that consumed the Sandpiper co-op on Dune Road in Westhampton Beach on Wednesday afternoon.

Baron’s Cove in Sag Harbor a Cape Resort a boutique hotel group has undergone an extensive two-‐year renovation, and will finally be opening this May. They will be opening a new restaurant in the Harbor with executive Chef Matthew “Matty” Boudreau who is thrilled to now call the historic waterfront village of Sag Harbor, NY “home”. In his spare time, he participates in local and national BBQ competitions as a member of the “Salty Rinse” team – next traveling to the Memphis in May “Smoked Whole Pig” competition. Being a true BBQ aficionado, he will share his love for BBQ on Sunday’s during the Summer. I am told his favorite dish from the soon-‐to-‐be-‐released Baron’s Cove menu,is the Lobster Thermidor!” SOUNDS YUMMY!!!! Joining Chef Boudreau are Sous chef Kyle Witkowski and Sous Chef Dermain Duhaney.
I question if Plaza Sports will really be opening in the Harbor on Main Street…I see no construction taking place and last week I saw the sign back in the window for Rental inquiries… now the sign is off the window, so are they moving in or has the space been rented to someone else? Hmmmmm What’s going on…trouble already?
THE CUDDY in Sag Harbor is no more…..Something new that includes Wölffer Estate Vineyard I speculate a wine Bar, that would be very nice..
The space on main street that once occupied Sag Harbor Express has been rented to yet another Real Estate Firm…Sotheby’s is moving into that space…soon all that will occupy storefronts on Main Street throughout the Hamptons will only be Real Estate Firms, because only they will be able to afford the high rents.
In other news around town…Nicole Brewer…..After 10+ years at Hamptons.com she has jumped ship over to Dan’s Papers… I did not see that one coming….
Looks like the place to be will be Back Harlow in Sag Harbor this summer…I am told $6 drinks and $14 lobster rolls are new to Back Harlow menu this summer…They do have the BEST location in the Harbor, live music and really cool people working there. Richie Notar and Jon Krasner are just real cool people. Hmmmm This just might be where I celebrate my Birthday this summer…hint, hint Richie and Jon…
Next week I will be starting my 10 week video Journey to Fitness at Integrated Exercise Therapy…so please by and check out my first video. Ahhh I am nervous because I am very lazy to hard workouts, but reality has set-in that I cannot Move Better, Feel Better Perform Better until I take the first step by making a commitment to want to get fit. Thanks Andrew and Molly for encouraging me to take this journey.
Until next week….Have a great weekend, enjoy this beautiful weather.
“Peter was dedicated to helping The Center because he appreciated what critical services it delivered to the families in the often over-looked local African-American and Latino communities. We started Jazz@Jennings at our home in 1996 in order to raise awareness and funding for The Center’s essential educational and recreational programs. But when J@J ended with Peter’s death 10 years ago, The Center lost not only a champion but a major source of support. It needs – and deserves – our attention again,” said Kayce Freed Jennings.
