The Jazz Bridge first Thursdays Neighborhood Concerts Series at the Collingswood Community Center, 30 East Collings Avenue in Collingswood NJ, presents drummer Charlie Rice and his All-Stars on Thursday, December 5th. Showtime is 7:30 p.m., tickets are $10/$5 for students, and are only available at the door. For info: 856-858-8914, 215-517-8337 or visit Jazz Bridge.

At the age of 93, drummer, raconteur and jazz legend Charlie Rice is not only still playing, but playing as well or better than percussionists less than one-third his age. At his last appearance in Collingswood he astonished the crowd with a beyond-up-tempo version of Giant Steps. Rice, who has played with everyone from Chet Baker and J.J. Johnson to Louis Jordan and Sonny Stitt, will be accompanied by organist Dan Kostelnik-Hammond B3 organ, saxophonist Bootsie Barnes and bassist Steve Beskrone. Do not, under any circumstances, miss this one!

The Jazz Bridge Neighborhood Concerts Series is partially funded by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Philadelphia Jazz Project, Philadelphia Fund for Jazz Legacy and Innovation of the Philadelphia Foundation, and Painted Bride Arts Center. Jazz Bridge, a 501C public charity that assists area jazz and blues musicians in crisis, is sponsoring this performance in Collingswood as well as 40 other events this season on five area stages in the Greater Delaware Valley.
