From Set. 14-21, the Rockland County Jazz & Blues Society will host the Nyack Jazz Week with shows in Downtown Nyack and Piermont. The week will include the Nyack Jazz Festival presented by Maureen’s Jazz Cellar, as well as shows at The Turning Point in Piermont and Black Parakeetz in Nyack.
The Nyack Jazz Week never fails to create a good time and an exciting environment. The week will include plenty of art, food, and music offering something for everyone. There will be plenty of artisan vendors selling a variety of products, food trucks, and a wine and beer garden. The creative and beautiful town of Nyack is undeniably the perfect location for the week of jazz.
On Sept. 15 from 1-6 PM, The Nyack Jazz Festival will have about eight musicians participating throughout the day, including Swedish trombone player and multi-instrumentalist, Gunhild Carling. Saxophonist, Ravi Coltrane, who co-owns the label RKM Music, and is the son of the legendary John Coltrane, will also perform. Renowned jazz drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts along with David Budway, and Neal Caine will join Coltrane. Lastly, Middle Eastern jazz fusion band, Baklava Exress will perform various styles of genre-bending jazz.
