“When you make four-hour exposures
in the middle of the night, you inevitably
slow down and begin to observe and
appreciate more what’s going on around
you. In our fast-paced, modern world, it’s
a luxury to be able to watch the stars move
across the sky.”
—Michael Kenna,

Baker and Baker Presents the Art
of Music: An Evening of Classic,
Swinging American Music
Sunday, September 25
Doors open at 6:00 p.m., Concert at 7:00 p.m.
$10 / $8 for members. Cash Bar
Enjoy classic
swing music in
an unusual duo
con?guration—
two guitars and
vocals—as Phil
Flanigan and Hanna Richardson bring new
sparkle to vintage material. Phil, a veteran
of Benny Goodman’s band, provides bass
lines on the 6-string guitar and evokes the
great Charlie Christian in his guitar solos.
Hanna plays ?awless time on the tenor
guitar and sings with warmth, verve and
wit. Hanna’s approach to a song is warm
and cool—warm of timbre, cool, casual
and relaxed in delivery.
They’ll be performing classic, swinging
American music from the great popular
and jazz songwriters of the 1930s and
1940s. Together, they have the intimacy,
delicacy, yet fullness of chamber music.
And that inde?nable thing called “swing.”
