On Friday, Nov. 15, Jazz at Bucks held its first-ever concert. Headliner Ben Schachter and his Trio of Many, with opening act guitarist Mike Hoffman and pianist Tom Lawton, blew away the crowd of 250 jazz fans. Bucks County Poet Laureate Allen Hoey inaugurated the show with his jazz poetry. Below are some photos from the show (click on the thumbnails to get the big picture). Special thanks goes out to photographer Jared Polin (www.jaredpolin.com) who captured these wonderful shots.
