STEADY GIGS

Thursdays at Cuckoo's Nest, Old Saybrook

Charlie Sutton and I continue our 15 + years of Thursday night appearances at the Cuckoo's Nest, 1712 Post Road, Old Saybrook (off I-95, Exit 66, tel. 860-399-9060). One patron wrote enthusiastically, "Your music transports us to another dimension. Your interpretations are fresh, fun and often deeply touching. We so appreciate your artistry." Our CD, "Deep In A Dream", is available at each of our gigs, and The Cuckoo's Nest is the top Mexican & Cajun restaurant in the state, so you won't be disappointed with the food... or the music! We're there every Thursday from 6:30-10:30 pm (6:00-10:00 after Labor Day).

Fridays at Sage Bar & Grill, New Haven

I'll continue hosting jazz performances Friday evenings from 7:30 - 10:30 pm at the soon-to-be-renovated Sage American Grill & Oyster Bar, 100 South Water St., New Haven. Sumptuous dining, spectacular water views and great jazz make Sage at total package entertainment value. Telephone 203-787-3466 for directions and further info.

Jeff Fuller & Friends - Booking Information

Jeff Fuller & Friends is what I call my groups of flexible sizes and instrumentations, ranging from duos to trios, quartets and up to 8 - 9 piece bands, with optional singers! We are available for bookings at public and private events, with a repertoire consisting of jazz and Latin music of unusual depth and improvisatory nature, yet always listenable and swinging for dancers.
