PERFORMANCES
Mid-month September Jazz ~ 9/10/24
A few new and exciting gigs have just popped up, and I wanted to make sure you are aware of what’ll be going on in the next few weeks!
On Friday the 13th from 7—10 pm I’ll be joining the phenomenal young drummer Ryan Sands, and the equally exciting saxophonist Nathan Edwards, at Possible Futures Bookstore, New Haven’s newest community meeting space. Tickets $10, include one free drink. Address is 318 Edgewood Avenue, New Haven.
On Saturday, September 14th, from 4 – 7 pm, I’ll be over at Café Nine, 250 State Street, New Haven, for the weekly jazz jam session with “Dr G” Gary Grippo on guitar and Barry Ries on drums and trumpet. It’s such a fun scene! Musicians, come sit in after the first set!
Pat Todd’s Tuxedo Junction ~ a big band with a swingin’ and danceable repertoire ~ will play a terrific concert on Sunday, September 15th at 12:30 pm, in Edgerton Park, 75 Cliff Street, New Haven. We also play regular Monday 7 – 8:30 pm rehearsals at the Guilford VFW Hall, 104 Mill Road, Guilford, CT. Open to the public, free.
On Wednesday, September 18th from 7 – 9 pm, I’ll be joining Allen Lowe & The All-Stars at Best Video Film & Cultural Center, 1842 Whitney Ave., Hamden, for the monthly jazz session with “a coterie of musical guests” (including the above mentioned Gary Grippo, Barry Ries, and saxophonist Mark Kaplan.) $10 cover.
On Friday, September 27th from 7 – 9 pm, I’ll be out at Bill’s Seafood (548 Boston Post Rd., Westbrook, CT) in the most distinguished trad-jazz company of Tom Boates on trombone, Tom Palinko on drums, Joe McWilliams on piano — and others who will practically swing the roof off the place!
September Sundays (12 – 3 pm) at Quattro’s, Italian Restaurant & Bar, 14 Water Street, Guilford, CT. Host and guitarist, “Dr G” Gary Grippo invites an impressive group of guest artists to perform with me, and the always inventive Barry Ries on drums and trumpet.

On Friday, October 4th from 6—9 pm I’ll be in the stellar company of pianist Mark Templeton and the great drummer, Justin Ottaviano, at The Inishmor, 20 Main St., Colchester, CT. Jazz in an Irish Pub, wow!
On Sunday, October 6th, from 4—5 pm, I’ll be accompanying vocalist & raconteur Melissa Newman, along with Tony Lombardozzi on guitar and Bobby Leonard on drums, at the Wilton Public Library in the famous Brubeck Room. No charge, registration is requested.
