Zingology party a blast

Those who missed the Beverly art e-zine Zingology.com’s first-year birthday party really missed out on some serious fun and dancing.

The Pickled Onion opened its doors for the party, a fundraiser for the Riverhouse. It looked as if the bash raised a good $500 for the cause. And it was great fun.
Zingology’s founder and publisher, Beverly’s Chava Hudson, brought in some topnotch, local musical talent. Poets J.D. Scrimgeour, of Salem, and Bevelry’s Betsy Retallack. She performed with husband Marc improvising jazz runs on electric keyboard to punctuate Ratallack’s wry observations on Beverly life. Scrimgeour read some new and old poems, some humorous, such as the observation of roaches hatching on his shower curtain, and some serious, one of which entwined the terrorist attacks and implosion of the Twin Towers with the cutting of a diseased tree. Both poets showed a sense of humor and a sense of social observation. People were kind to a third reader, yours truly.
Willie Alexander was positively electric on his keyboard and vocals, performing only with a drummer and a father-son sax team. His Bo Didley tribute made the entire evening worthwhile.
Gloucesters’ Gretta Bro showed off a rich, elastic voice and smart lyrics put to a world-beat, breezy jazz soundtrack.

The Frankestein Consort lived up to its name, I think. Combining keyboard, clarinet and flute, the trio made for a dizzying combination of classical, jazz and rock. Closing out with an Edgar Winter song was a perfect ending to a genre-bending set, fun, energetic and thoughtful.
Let’s hope Hudson decides to do this again next year.
