Dear Jazz Forum Community, 

First off, thank you all for making the Jazz Forum your home. In just three months, we will celebrate our third anniversary and the club’s success is because of you! For now, we need to address the spread of the Coronavirus and make the best decisions for you, our staff and the musicians.

We have decided to close the club from tomorrow, Friday, March 13 through Sunday, March 22 and postpone the scheduled shows to later dates in 2020 listed below.  Meanwhile, we will follow the CDC, NYS and Westchester County guidelines to make sure the club is ready to reopen as soon as possible.  

We have postponed the next two weekends of shows to the following dates: 

Alexis Cole Trio
Friday, October 2nd and Saturday, October 3rd

Willie Martinez Latin Jazz Quartet
Sunday, August 30th

Roni Ben-Hur Quintet
Friday, September 11th and Saturday, September 12th

Eduardo Belo Group
Sunday, August 2nd

We have reached out to those who have purchased tickets for shows this or next weekend. We will honor that ticket when the event is rescheduled, or you may request a refund by contacting info@jazzforumarts.org. We also ask you to consider converting the ticket to a tax-deductible donation, which would be greatly appreciated at this time.

In these stressful times, please remember that music is the international language of peace and healing so listen to what you love. While we can’t offer you live music right now, we will post great videos to lift your spirits.  

We will keep you posted. 

All the best,
Ellen Prior & Mark Morganelli

This gig marks a return engagement at The Jazz Forum for this fireball of a band, a super-group of master musicians. Individually, Tim, Gary, John and Al are all recipients of high honors, have all played with legendary names and performed at the most prestigious venues. When together, they produce fresh, exciting and challenging sounds worthy of their collective talents. This engagement comes on the eve of the quartet gearing up for its first recording.

Livio Almeida can play it all, from bebop to Afro-Cuban jazz, but his big tenor sax tones fit perfectly when he wraps them around the sounds of his native Brazil. An energetic live performer, he has been a standout when performing and recording with his own quartet, his Brazilian big band or with the legendary O’Farrill Brothers groups for his ability to infuse groove and funk into tropical compositions.
