Last Sunday of every month

Sunday, January 29th

6:30pm - 8:30pm / $16.50 Music cover charge

$15 minimum food and drink

An acclaimed bassist, songwriter and bandleader, Jon Burr has performed and recorded with some of the most famous figures in jazz, including Chet Baker, Stan Getz, Stephane Grapelli , and Tony Bennett. He has numerous Broadway and cabaret credits, including performances with Eartha Kitt and Barbara Cook, and has headlined at Birdland and the Blue Note. Lynn Stein is the vocal side of the bass/vocal duo Jon and Lynn, which focuses on original renderings of jazz and pop compositions. Her 2011 CD release, "Softly", is a collection of mainstream jazz standards recorded with Jon Burr (bass), Matt Ray (piano), Warren Vache (trumpet), and John Hart (guitar). Harry Allen has been described by jazz writer C. Michael Bailey as, "a practitioner of such dense talent he sounds as if he invented tenor saxophone performance instead of Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young. Allen is the Frank Sinatra of the tenor saxophone: a master interpreter of standards".

With numerous film score, theater and cabaret, piano, and vocal performance credits, Matt Ray is known in New York as a versatile artist. His album, "We Got It!", was one of the most played jazz CD's in America in 2002, climbing to #12 on the jazz radio airplay charts. His recent CD, "Lost in New York", was released to wide critical acclaim.

Please reserve early. We look forward to seeing you, and thanks to all for helping to build musical community in Ridgefield.
