This year, the Embury Avenue block party once again featured a series of big bands and ensembles performing in driveways and porches while the neighbors chowed down in the street.
This is an impressive event, with high quality jazz, dixieland and big band music. It’s a shame that this could not have been shared with the whole town somehow. Anyhow, it was a wonderful happening in the Grove: unique and marvelous. Congratulations to the organizers. —-Paul Goldfinger, Editor Blogfinger.net
