The concert in Brackett Park set for tonight -- a performance by the Bristol Reunion Jazz Band -- is postponed because of the rain. The band, playing jazz and swing favorites, will instead take the stage on Thursday at 7 p.m. in Brackett Park. This band never disappoints, so get there early and bring a lawn chair!
