Buzz the cat was lost for the umpteenth time. Jimmy, carrying a cat carrier, carefully called his name. It was Christmas, and both of them were in an unfamiliar house. Little did Jimmy know, Buzz was off scratching one of the hosts. When he stumbled into the kitchen, he ran into the other, their conversation cut short when Jimmy’s brother let him know they were leaving.

In front of Elm City Sounds, ethnomusicologist Patrick Rivers was doing his best to make and spread a beat. The sweet aroma of kettle corn, the excited “hellos” of unexpected familiar faces, and the groovy blues of Joe Cocker all filled the air around him.

As she started to groove on the corner of West Rock Avenue, Arts In CT's Barbara “Babs” Alexander couldn't help but get lost in the music. For a moment, she let herself sway to a steady bachata beat, taking a break from her busy day to take in the scene around her.

Dr. Eddie Henderson was flying through “Surrey With The Fringe On Top.” No sooner had Andrew Kosiba laid the foundation than he was answering with the short, ringing staccato of his trumpet, then longer, full-lunged notes that coasted over the audience. An upright bass, half cloaked in shadow, hummed to life. The most polite of percussion rose to meet it. Somewhere, Miles Davis and Rogers and Hammerstein were clinking cocktail glasses and tapping their toes.
