THE RESCUE chronicles the enthralling, against-all-odds story that transfixed the world in 2018: the daring rescue of twelve boys and their coach from deep inside a flooded cave in Northern Thailand. Academy Award®-winning directors and producers E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they use a wealth of never-before-seen material and exclusive interviews to piece together the high stakes mission, highlighting the efforts of the Royal Thai Navy SEALs and U.S. Air Force Special Tactics and details the expert cave divers’ audacious venture to dive the boys to safety. THE RESCUE brings alive one of the most perilous and extraordinary rescues in modern times, shining a light on the high-risk world of cave diving, the astounding courage and compassion of the rescuers, and the shared humanity of the international community that united to save the boys.

Novel Jazz Septet Reopens Concerts for a Cause

Novel Jazz Septet kicks off the reopening of the UUCB Concerts for a Cause series on Saturday, November 13^th at 7:30 pm.

The church requires audience members aged 12 and up to be fully vaccinated or have a negative COVID-19 test result within 48 hours of arriving at a performance, along with a matching photo ID. Proof of vaccination or negative test will be required at the door.  Masking is also required.  To avoid a long wait at the door, concert goers should arrive early.  Doors will open at 6:30 pm.

The musicians of “Novel Jazz” have been performing straight-ahead jazz around Maine and New England for over three decades.  They draw from the Great American Songbook and specialize in the works of Edward Kennedy (“Duke”) Ellington and his musical collaborator Billy Strayhorn. Together these musicians wrote some 3000 compositions over their musical careers. The band members hail from all over Maine, and they have recorded 3 CD’s. Several two-hour programs dedicated to Novel Jazz have been broadcast on Maine Public Radio’s jazz show, “Jazz Tonight” over the years.

Despite Covid, the band has kept busy during the long hiatus with plenty of practicing at home, lots of zoom calls and doing arrangements of new Ellington and Strayhorn tunes, some collected from the Smithsonian Museum of American History as well as the Library of Congress.

Two-thirds of the proceeds from all this season’s concerts will benefit Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program and Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project.

Tickets for Novel Jazz are $15 in advance for adults, $18 at the door.  Students & Children are $10.  Tickets are available at the Brunswick Unitarian Universalist Church office (729-8515), Gulf of Maine Books, or online at https://ticketstripe.com/noveljazz.
