RED BANK — A salute to Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt, Bessie Smith and other giants of prewar jazz and blues is on tap on Friday, Oct. 30, at a Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation sponsored concert with Mike Barris & Friends.

The latest installment of the monthly "Reckless Steamy Nights" concert series at the Woman's Club of Red Bank features the swinging lead guitar of Vincent Corrao, the trumpet stylings of Tom Bender, the vocals of Jennifer Jordan and the driving rhythm guitar of music writer and show host Barris.
