The 47th Annual Pee Wee Russell Memorial Stomp was held at the beautiful Birchwood Manor in Whippany, New Jersey on the first Sunday in March 2016. Presented by the New Jersey Jazz Society, four fabulous bands performed for five hours of dancing and listening pleasure. Under the huge chandeliers on the spacious floor, dancers twisted and swirled, while the musicians generated pure joy. Unlike last year (and the year before) the weather totally cooperated for us, and all who were there seemed to have the most wonderful time!
