Snacktime

Miguel Zenón with Luis Perdomo, a Shakti reunion, a free outdoor fest and more in Moment's Notice, our weekly digest of live jazz in the Philly area.

What may sound like a gathering of beards is actually a summit of some of the hottest Philly cats, alongside heavyweights like Mark Guiliana and Isaiah Sharkey. This year's Beardfest runs June 22-25, and Ryan Hankins sheds some light on the scene.

The beloved Philly brass band Snacktime brought the party to our studio, with a foot-stomping, head-bobbing tune called "Sweet Treat" — WRTI's Video of the Week, as we continue to celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month.

For every week of Jazz Appreciation Month, WRTI will release an exclusive video from our performance studio — starting with the Venezuelan folk-jazz of Caracas Trio.
