Pee Wee Russell Stomp on March 1

The New Jersey Jazz Society maintains the memory of clarinetist Pee Wee Russell (here's a clip of him playing in 1958: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=%22Pee+Wee+Russell%22&hl=en&emb=0&aq=f#) with scholarships for student musicians at Rutgers, funded by the group's annual Pee Wee Russell Stomp.
This year's event will be held from noon to 5 p.m. March 1 at the Birchwood Manor, 111 North Jefferson Road, Whippany -- a bit of a hike, but one worth the trip: the day's entertainment includes Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, Danny Tobias Quintet, Dan Levinson and His Swing Wing, and the Warren Vaché Trio.
