Concert Schedule

Blackbird Society Orchestra
The 12- to 14-piece Blackbird Society Orchestra has become one of Tri-State’s favorites. The Tri-state area's Premier Authentic 1920's/1930's Jazz Band plays original arrangements of bands of the 1920s and early 1930s.

Pete and Will Anderson with Adam Moezinia
Twin brothers Peter and Will Anderson have wowed TSJS audiences before with their reed mastery. This time they’re bringing a friend—guitarist Adam Moezinia—with whom they’ve played a series of concerts around New York and beyond. Adam is an entire rhythm section by himself. The boys will be featuring popular tunes by well-known and loved composers like Berlin, Gershwin, Porter, Arlen and others.

Kris Tokarski – Piano
New Orleans pianist Kris Tokarski appeared once before at Tri-State, with a band led by Dan Levinson. This time it’s a solo performance that is sure to feature legendary NOLA composers like Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver. Originally from North Jersey, Kris has been a go-to pianist in the Crescent City for many years. He has appeared at many festivals and jazz cruises.

Wallingford

The Midiri Brothers Sextet
The Midiri Brothers returm with their sextet to Wallingford today.  The Midiris have delighted swing dancers and been acclaimed by critics at jazz festivals throughout the country for many years.  They have recorded with groups ranging from trios to big bands – featuring the arrangements of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and the Dorsey Brothers.

Miss Maybell and her Ragtime Romeos
Miss Maybell (Lauren Sansaricq) and Charlie Judkins – with the Ragtime Romeos – play a large repertoire of early Jazz, Ragtime and Blues from the 1890’s - 1920’s. They source their tunes from dusty old 78 records and antique sheet music, giving new life to songs created over 100 years ago!

Danny Tobias and Friends
Get ready for "an oasis of joy!" (in the words of our reviewer after Dan's last appearance). Dan last brought his friends to Tri-State in June 2024; today we see the return of Dan leading and playing trumpet, with Dan Block on reeds, Pat Mercuri on guitar and banjo, Joe Plowman on bass and Jim Lawlor on drums.

TBD

Our Tri-State Jazz Society Artistic Director is hard at work finalizing the schedule for April.

Glenn Crytzer Quartet
Glenn Crytzer returns with his Quartet to Tri-State, playing music from the Jazz Age and the Swing Era - "Vintage American Jazz". Glenn draws on the broad repertoire of styles of jazz that were performed prior to World War II. This includes the earliest jazz from New Orleans around the turn of the 20th century, and the styles that were part of the gradual morphing into the "hot jazz" style played by the dance orchestras (early big bands) and combos of the 1920s.

Neville Dickie with Danny Coots and Dan Levinson
Neville Dickie, top stride/boogie-woogie pianist from Surrey England is joined by Danny Coots, Grammy award winning drummer, and Tri-State favorite Dan Levinson on reeds, for a concert of traditional jazz. Think Fats Waller, James P. Johnson, Louis Armstrong, Art Tatum, Earl Hines, and more!!
