The Torrington Historical Society is excited to announce its popular ‘Jazz in the Garden’ outdoor concert series set on the lawn of the historic Hotchkiss-Fyler House Museum, 192 Main Street in Torrington. This year’s concert series features highly accomplished jazz musicians from New England and New York, many of whom have previously performed at the Torrington Historical Society. All of the musicians have recorded and performed widely with a variety of jazz greats.
The series, which will include three concerts, is sponsored by Northwest Community Bank. Attendees should bring a lawn chair or blanket and are also welcome to bring refreshments. Tickets for all concerts are $15 for Torrington Historical Society members and $18 for non-members. Tickets may be purchased by clicking here. In the event of rain, the concert will be held at Five Points Arts Center, 855 University Drive in Torrington.
New Chordtet will open the summer series on Saturday, July 23rd at 6:30 pm. New Chordtet features Peter McEachern (trombone), Mike DiRubbo (saxophone), Dave Santoro (bass), Tom Melito (drums), Larry Ham (piano), and Dave Ballou (trumpet). The group has found fertile ground in jazz classics by important and under-appreciated composers such as Sonny Clark, Herbie Nichols, Curtis Fuller, Carla Bley, and Roswell Rudd, as well as originals by members of the group.
The next two performances are the Adam Nussbaum Trio on August 6th and the Kris Jensen Quartet with vocalist Linda Ransom on August 26th.
