The Jazz Night series, which is presented by the Hamptons JazzFest, features some of the finest musicians working today, often including legendary artists. The weekly concerts at the Sag Harbor Masonic Temple have become a popular community event, regularly showcasing world-class music in a truly unique setting.
The upcoming Jazz Night show on Friday, January 17, is being billed as a “Celebration of Hard Bop Jazz” with an all-star international lineup that, in addition to Americans Randy Brecker on trumpet and Essiet Okon Essiet on bass, includes Italian Ada Rovatti on tenor sax, Argentinean Oscar Feldman on alto sax, Venezuelan Benito Gonzalez on piano and Danish drummer and emcee Claes Brondal.
This concert offers a rare opportunity for the community to experience a stellar performance by an international ensemble. All shows are recorded for broadcast on JazzFest Radio Hour on local NPR station 88.3 WLIW-FM. And as part of a commitment to educating the next generation, all Jazz Night shows are free for students.
Also coming up is the Winter Jazz Series, beginning Friday, February 14, with Mary Edwards at The Church in Sag Harbor, followed by two additional dates at Bay Street Theater, CocoMama Live on February 22 and Leila Duclos Quintet Live on March 22.
