Return to NJJS
Tuesday, July 9, 8 pm. Hot jazz played by youthful players drawn from the bubbling NYC traditional jazz rediscovery. For this date Emily has recruited trumpeter Mike Davis, bassist Rob Adkins, and banjo/guitar ace Nick Russo, all becoming familiar faces at this point. Her new discoveries are drummer Jay Lepley, with her at the 2013 Peewee Stomp, and clarinet/sax player Tom Abbott, a new face to NJ fans. Emily knows how to put players together who can really cook!

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

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.


All concerts start 8 pm. Ticket info below.
