Come hear Dyad Play Puccini!

Dyad is Lou Caimano on alto saxophone, and Eric Olsen on piano.

Eric and Lou re-imagine Puccini’s beautiful classical compositions as contemporary jazz arrangements in Dyad Plays Puccini. These accomplished classical & jazz artists are unique in their ability to fuse the two streams into a new art form. 

Beloved arias from Madame Butterfly, Tosca, Turandot, La Bohème, and others are combined with the sounds and rhythms of jazz, gospel, R&B, and Latin jazz to create an innovative musical experience. Olsen & Caimano bring timeless Puccini melodies into the 21st century with grace, style, virtuosity, and originality.  Join us for an afternoon of pure musical delight!

This program is made possible through the Wharton Music Center in Berkeley Heights.

The Jerry Vezza Trio at Long Hill Library

Sunday, Feb 24 @ 2:00 pm

In the mood for music?

Join us at the Long Hill Township Library to hear the Jerry Vezza Trio featuring Jerry Vezza on piano, Tom DiCarlo on bass and Eliot Zigmund on drums. 

The Trio will perform a program of standards that Jerry has arranged, and will also include a few originals. The standards might include "Gone with the Wind" or "Summer Night," both in a 6/8, waltzlike feeling. "I like the dance aspect of the waltz. It's beautiful," Jerry says. Or maybe he'll go with an upbeat "How About You." "I can't get enough of that swing feel," he says. One more might be Miles Davis' "Solar" -- "a tune that you can really open and explore."

Come, be surprised. You'll enjoy it. Guaranteed.
