SEPTEMBER September 21 - Jacob Varmus Sextet
The Jacob Varmus Sextet features the New York based trumpeter, cornetist, composer, and
arranger. (You may have heard Jacob featured with the Larry Haddad Quintet at our May concert.) He's back with his own band
– a stellar lineup of some of New York’s finest musicians – featuring his original compositions and arrangements
from his most recent album. The album is a musical tribute to the family and friends of jazz patron Apostolos Georgeopolous.
Apostolos is the man who nominated Sonny Rollins for his lifetime achievement award from The American Academy of Arts and
Sciences. The recording is scheduled for release in January 2015. His previous recordings as a leader are "Terminal Stillness"
and "All The Things We Still Can Be". Featured are: Jacob Varmus on trumpet and cornet,
as well as composing and arranging the music. Learn more about Jacob, including reviews of his recordings, on his website…

Saxtet is an 8 piece band, featuring a full "big-band" style saxophone section (2 alto saxophones, 2 tenor saxophones,
and 1 baritone saxophone), plus a standard rhythm section of piano, bass, and drums. Darren
Litzie, on piano, serves as the band’s pianist, conductor, and composer-in-residence. Litzie recently completed a three-year
stint as a member of New York’s prestigious BMI Jazz Composers Workshop where he had several of his works performed
in a concert by the BMI Jazz Orchestra. Featured as the band’s lead alto saxophonist is New York legend
Andrew Beals, who joined world-renowned organist “Brother” Jack McDuff’s band in 1986 and went on to record
seven albums with the group. In 2007, Beals released his first record as a leader, entitled Gravy Train. Saxophones Andrew Beals Tom Imre Martin Sather George Prieto George

SUNDAY
MAY 18th The concert on
Sunday, May 18th will feature the Larry Haddad Quintet.
Lordship resident and part-time alto saxophonist, Larry will be leading a group that includes a stellar lineup of jazz musicians
from the area and New York City. Jacob Varmus, on trumpet, is not only one of Larry’s closest friends,
he is also a Queens based musician, composer, arranger, and instructor who is quite busy with performances throughout New
York City. On guitar, Nobuki Takamen, also from New York (via Japan) will be coming off a weekend of shows
at the Blue Note, the famed Manhattan jazz club. Nobuki has not only toured Japan with his trio, he has also played at some
of the greatest jazz festivals in the world, including the Montreal Festival of Jazz and CT’s own Hartford Jazz Festival.
On bass will be Preston Murphy, a Connecticut native, who has been the bassist in the Tony Purrone trio for
the past 6 years. Besides working and recording with Tony, Preston is quite busy performing and teaching throughout Fairfield,
New Haven counties and beyond. Drummer Barry Ries completes the band. Now a resident of Guilford, CT, Barry
has played and recorded with countless legends of jazz. One of his more recent and prominent collaborations was playing trumpet
in the Joe Lovano Nonet. (Yes, that’s right – Barry is primarily a trumpet player, but he is a fantastic drummer,
too! So you might just hear him play a little horn!) Check out Jake’s and Nobuki’s web sites… www.jacobvarmus.com and www.nobukitakamen.com
