Is it clear?

The last few weeks' performances have been scrambled by the weather -- a special event planned by John Bianculli has been delayed, possibly until April, and the Jazz Celebration Big Band February show at the Temperence House in Newtown, Pa., was called off.

And to top it off, the launch of a new jazz jam in Hopewell, led by Jim Popik was pushed back to this week. But get over the Hopewell Valley Inn, at 15 E. Broad St. in Hopewell, at 8 p.m. and be a part of tonight's launch.
