Buck-and-a-Quarter Quartet

Sunday, October 13, 2019 - 2:00 to 4:30 p.m.

The Buck and a Quarter Quartet makes its debut at Tri-State Jazz. Reedman John Bianchi leads this great New York based band. The "quartet" (actually a sextet) plays forgotten gems of the golden age of American popular music, as well as vintage-inspired originals. They play in their own category-defying style, described as "skiffle meets Cole Porter" and "what IS this?” mostly on strings. They've appeared at numerous venues, events and festivals, and now they're visiting us in Wallingford on October 13.

A SPECIAL EVENT

TSJS Co-sponsors Eddie Lang Day!
Wallingford Community Arts Center


Sunday, October 27, 2019

SPECIAL TIME 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Special pricing: $15 members, $20 general admission


TSJS is co-sponsoring a special event when Richard Barnes returns with his 12-piece 1920s-30s jazz band Blackbird Society Orchestra to celebrate the 10th Annual Eddie Lang Day Philadelphia and charity fundraiser.


Eddie Lang (1902-33, born Salvatore Massaro) was known as "the Father of Jazz Guitar" due to his giving prominence to the guitar in the early 1920s and until his tragic and untimely death in 1933.


This year, proceeds from this charity fundraiser will go to Bryn Mawr Hospital's Hospice Program. Donations will also be accepted at the door.

Stephanie Trick is a Tri-State favorite - she last wowed the audience here in Haddonfield in April 2017. Today, she returns (finally!) with her husband Paolo Alderighi in a piano duo performance. They bring their fresh arrangements of songs from the Swing Era in a four-hands piano duo, and they currently have four albums together. Stephanie and Paolo are featured headliners at U.S. and international festivals and venues too numerous to list – so don’t miss this great concert in Haddonfield!
