The Jazz Voyager

New year, new destinations, new adventures await me as the Jazz Voyager is hitting the road once again and heading to Tarrytown, New York to catch a set or two at Jazz Forum Arts. Having spent the week in the Big Apple it’s just a little over an hour ride up the Swa Mill Parkway or 87. In house this weekend will be none other than NEA Jazz Master and the Big Chief of Congo Square Donald Harrison with his quartet. There is nothing better than a warm atmosphere on a chilly night with great music and hot chocolate to heat up a memory.

Celebrating five years, the club was opened by the late Roy Hargrove who excited the capacity crowds for their first weekend at the club. Jazz Forum Arts has brought the music to the area and the patrons have supported it and the club has become a mainstay for this part of the state.

Looking to the future, please be responsible for your personal health, which will spill over on to others, and like the music promotes kindness in this world. Practice random acts of love whenever the opportunity presents itself. Have an abundant year!

The club’s number is 914-631-1000. If you want to get more information visit notoriousjazz.com/event/donald-harrison-quartet.
