Jazz Marches In! ~ 2/28/2026

     Hi everyone… Pam & I just returned from a sunny, relaxing Road Scholar tour in Southern Spain! The unexpected bonus was that we entirely missed the blizzard of last weekend due to flight cancellations, enjoying an extra THREE nights in Dublin, courtesy of AerLingus. But now it’s time to get down to business: here’s where I’ll be playing this month.

     Tonight, Saturday, February 28th from 7 – 9 pm, I’ll be playing with Richard Sylvester’s Blue Lion Trio, featuring Joe McWilliams on piano, at Open Door Tea, 3552 Main Street, Stratford, CT.  Host & drummer Richard has launched a remarkable jazz series (every Saturday!) at this cozy venue. Great teas, 50% off wine purchase.

     Sunday, March 1st, from 12 – 3 pm, I’ll return to the Jazz Brunch at Quattro’s Italian Restaurant & Bar, 14 Water Street, Guilford, CT.  Guitarist Gary Grippo, who leads the show, has invited the marvelous saxophonist Paul Evoscevitch to join me and Barry Ries on drums and trumpet.  Hope you can stop by for the great food and music!  Looking ahead: on the 15th we’ll be joined by vibes/steel pan artist Alan Bates; on the 29th guests will be Dave Arrezini (sax) and John Brasile (drums); and on Sun. Apr. 5th, the amazing Naomi Wharry on vocals & trombone.

     On Saturday, March 14th, from 4 – 7 pm, I’ll be over at Café Nine, 250 State Street, New Haven, for the afternoon jazz jam hosted by Gary Grippo on guitar, with me on bass, Barry Ries on drums and trumpet. It’s a treat to hear the parade of fabulous local musicians who will sit in with us after the first set!

     On Wednesday, March 25th, from 7 – 9 pm, I’ll be joining Allen Lowe & The All-Stars at Best Video Film & Cultural Center, 1842 Whitney Ave., Hamden, for an unusual jazz session with the usual (talented) suspects ~ Gary Grippo, Barry Ries, and Mark Kaplan. $10 cover.

     Well, I’m sorry (not!) to have missed the big blizzard with y’all, but as Spring approaches (I can hear the birds chirping as I type this…) I hope y’all can come out to hear some live jazz at one of these nice gigs!
