MY PTOWN

August 11, 2011

Just like with the jazz music he plays, Bart Weisman keeps a steady drumbeat of great music rolling all year long in Provincetown. Long know as an art colony for over a century, with celebrated artists, writers, and actors, people often forget that music is always played a vital role in the creativity that makes Provincetown run. Weisman works with the Provincetown Business Guild booking acts for April’s Cabaret Fest and runs a summer jazz series at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, where he also performs an annual holiday concert in December. An in-demand musician for private functions, Weisman plays with both the Bart Weisman Jazz Group and Bart Weisman Klezmer Swing Group year-round. This week, Weisman brings the 7th Annual Provincetown Jazz Festival to Town Hall. Recently, George Wein, the founder of the legendary Newport Jazz Festival, met with Weisman and gave an enthusiastic thumbs up to the Provincetown Jazz Festival.
