Jazz Into September ~ 8/30/24

Here we go with a quick summary of my upcoming gigs in September (plus one last gig in August).

On Saturday, August 31st, from 6:30-9:30 pm, I’ll be joining the fine young saxophonist, Wes Lewis and his quartet at Encore by Goodfellas, 702 State Street, New Haven. Come on upstairs to the cool balcony to join us.

Two September Sundays at Quattro’s, Italian Restaurant & Bar, 14 Water Street, Guilford, CT. Host and guitarist, Gary Grippo invites an impressive group of guest artists to perform with me and the always inventive Barry Ries on drums and trumpet. Shows from 12 – 3 pm.

On September 1st guest artist is saxophonist Tim Moran.
On September 29th guest artist is Alan Bates on vibes.
In between, on September 15th host Gary Grippo brings in his organ trio, the Paradox Organ Alliance.

On Thursday, September 5th, I’ll be performing with virtuoso pianist Mark Templeton and a singer from 7 — 10 pm at 88 Keys Piano Bar and Café, 1278 Main St., Watertown, CT.

On Sunday, September 8th, from 12 – 3 pm, I’ll be joining my good buddy, guitarist Joe Carter, for the Sunday brunch at Good Eats Restaurant, 300 Kent Road, New Milford, CT.

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 ~ has two great concerts in September:

On Sunday, September 8th from 5:30-7 pm, we will be playing on the Guilford Town Green.
On Sunday, September 15th at 12:30 pm, we will be playing at Edgerton Park, 75 Cliff Street, New Haven.
We also hold regular Monday 7 – 8:30 pm rehearsals at the Guilford VFW Hall, 104 Mill Road, Guilford, CT. Open to the public, free.

That wraps up this somewhat abbreviated version of my newsletter. There’s plenty of live jazz around; don’t forget to also check out much more at the Jazz Haven and Hartford Jazz Society calendars on line! See you soon!
