Return to NJJS

Monday, November 24, 8 PM. Pianist Rio Clemente returns, with a substantial surprise. He's always a treat, since fans cannot get enough of this versatile player. But this time he's invited Bucky Pizzarelli to share the stage with him, and they'll be backed by bassist Gene Perla. Little has to be said to jazz fans about these familiar stars.

Rio's concerts can contain some thumping stride, complex interpretations of pop tunes from several eras, classical quotes, hymns that will make you think you are in church, or patriotic marches that will have you watching for the parade. Anything and everything is possible when this unique talent sits down at the keyboard. Add Bucky and Gene, and this one has sellout written all over it!


Weekday concerts at The Bickford are one long set, from 8 to 9:30 PM, allowing working people to attend and still get home at a decent hour. The tab is reasonable too: only $15 in advance, $18 at the door (less for Morris Museum members). Pick up your prepaid tickets in the express line that night (suggested), or have them mailed for $1 per order (if you insist). Ticket info below.

The New Jesey Jazz Society is a proud co-sponsor of Jazz at the Bickford Theater.


All concerts start 8 pm. Ticket info below.
