Warwick. Library offers jazz and hot chocolate this month
Albert Wisner Public Library is offering the following this month:
Jazz: An American Art with Barry Wiesenfeld
Saturday, Jan. 21, at 11 a.m.
Jazz was born in the U.S., but is our gift to the world. This presentation delves into its origins, evolution, styles and milestones. We’ll explore its structure, artists, and the components that are common to all eras - including those elements that are shared by other genres of music, a fascinating parallel. And, of course, we’ll listen to an earful of magnificence.

The history of chocolate in the Hudson Valley
Sunday, Jan. 22, 2 p.m.
Our favorite winter hot drink started as an invigorating and nourishing brew that was quite different from today. Culinary Historian Peter G. Rose will present the early trade of the Hudson Valley’s Dutch settlers through the 18th century into the late 19th century, and how chocolate connected the world to early New Yorkers.
A sample tasting of 18th century hot chocolate will be provided, as well as one of the many early recipes and how it can be made today.
