Summer Solstice

Summer solstice, or midsummer, is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. The peak of summer follows soon after.

The Summer Solstice Celebration is on the weekend nearest the solstice.

Paul Winter

Paul Winter is a legendary, multi-Grammy Award-winning, jazz saxophone player.

Right out of college, his band toured Latin America as cultural ambassadors for the U.S. State Department. The band was the first jazz band to play at the White House. That was during the Kennedy years.

Winter was disillusioned by the Kennedy assassination, so he went back to Brazil and played with the people who created Bossa Nova in the mid-1960s.

Winter was one of the early advocates of World Music, the music of our many human cultures.

Later Winter helped develop the Earth music category. Paul Winter’s trajectory has been from jazz to the world to the earth.

Winter founded his current band, The Paul Winter Consort in 1968. It carries on today with various players.
