Two music writers and fans ponder why, at the current moment of political divisiveness, protest songs have yet to penetrate the mainstream.

"Middletown," next up in the HamptonsFilm SummerDocs series, tells the story of how in the 1990s a high school English teacher and his students exposed toxic dumping in New York's Orange County.

In collaboration with Hamptons JazzFest, the Jane Ira Bloom Quartet, featuring Ms. Bloom on soprano saxophone, will perform at The Church.

LTV Studios will host Real East End Brass, a New Orleans-style band, and MOIPEI, identical triplets from Nairobi, Kenya, who will sing Broadway, jazz, swing, and more.
