Last week, we wrote about the fabulous series of upcoming concerts that are slated for the College of Saint Rose’s Massry Center.
Now Frequency North, the series of readings at Albany’s College of Saint Rose, has announced its 2011-2012 season of visiting writers and authors. All readings are free and open to the public.
At 8:30pm tonight, the College of Saint Rose is hosting a panel discussion about the role of print media in the music business. Moderated by Katie Hammon of the Music & Entertainment Industry Student Association, the discussion’s participants will include Josh Potter (of Metroland); Michael Eck (The Times Union, Nippertown, Chronogram, Fretboard Journal), Greg Dahlmann (All Over Albany) and Greg Haymes (Nippertown).
The discussion will be held in the Midi Lab of the campus’ Center of Communication & Interactive Media (behind the Massry Center) at 1000 Madison Avenue in Albany. Admission is free, and the event is open to the public.

Bassist, Sousaphone player and creative director Ben Jaffe stood on stage at the College of Saint Rose’s Massry Center on Tuesday night, and introduced his bandmates one by one. They ambled out on stage individually, each adding their instrument to the musical mix.
“We’re gonna take you on a trip to a very special place…,” Jaffe told the sold-out crowd.
And if there was any doubt about where the Preservation Hall Jazz Band was coming from, they made it perfectly clear with their opening one-two salvo of “Basin Street Blues” and “Bourbon Street Parade,” name-checking two of the most famous avenues of New Orleans and indeed the jazz world.
