Three out of five of the Sandy Connolly Band (Justin Paglino, Ted Ervin, and I) ventured into New Haven last night to check out the scene at Stella Blues on Crown Street in New Haven.
The Cobalt Rhythm Kings were hosting their “First-Ever First-Wednesday Stella Blues Jam,” and we wanted to show our support. The Cobalt Rhythm Kings are Mark Zaretsky (vocal & harmonica), Greg Benn (guitar), Wendell Jones (bass), and Tom Smith (drums).
Here are some of my shots:

And here’s a very short, cool video I took of these two guitar players playing an improv with Tom Smith. I especially enjoy the dancers.
