The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is on his way to Westchester County, New York to hang out at the Jazz Forum. Established in 2017 by husband and wife team Mark Morganelli and Ellen Prior, this intimate 90 seat weekend-only live music venue is the only dedicated jazz club in the county. Offering up a warm and welcoming listening room mood, affordable ticket prices and clear sightlines from all seats, it has been the go-to spot since the launch   with sold-out performances by the Roy Hargrove Quintet.

Cover ranges from $20-$25 and the menu offers moderately priced selection of “quiet food” of cured meats and cheeses imported from Italy, olives, specialty breads, Italian desserts and chocolate truffles, sourced primarily from area purveyors.

Located at 1 Dixon Lane in Tarrytown, New York 10591, you can make your reservation or get more information by calling 914–631–1000. I will be fortunate to catch one of my favorite pianists from my deejay days, Massimo Faraò with his quintet, this weekend. #wannabewhereyouare
