The Boilermaker Jazz Band at The Jam Cellar 7/7/09 and an Appreciation
The Boilermaker Jazz Band came back to The Jam Cellar last night, this time fielding a smaller group of Paul Cosentino on clarinet and saxophone, Mark Kotision on piano, and Rich Strong on drums. Betsy Kipperman also made a brief appearance with the band singing “Me, Myself, and I” and “I Can’t Give You Anything, but Love.” One of these days I’m going to do a larger feature about the Boilermakers, but today I just want to talk about drummer, Rich Strong.
