SUMMARY:Sean Nelson Jazz Orchestra "Swing into Spring"
DESCRIPTION:The Sean Nelson Jazz Orchestra returns to the Side Door as part of their monthly residency \nThe Sean Nelson Jazz Orchestra is a “full bodied and polished brassy big band” (Jazz Weekly) made up of 17 of the finest musicians in New England. Formed in 2016 as the New London Big Band\, for the past nine years they have played monthly for sold out crowds at the Social Bar + Kitchen in New London CT. The band has performed all over the country\, including the Kennedy Center (Washington DC)\, the Birdland Jazz Club (NYC)\, Monks Jazz Club (Austin TX)\, and Hallowed Halls (Portland OR). The band has released three albums\, the most recent of which\, “Don’t Stop Now: the lost music of Thad Jones for Harry James\,” reached #29 on the jazz radio charts. \nThe band’s sound is rooted in the Kansas City swing of Count Basie\, “swinging high\, hard\, and hot” (All About Jazz.) “Nelson…has assembled a youthful\, sharp\, hip 17-piece ensemble as dedicated as he is to the belief that big band sounds can provide a fine musical experience — one best served up live\, where the groove and excitement of the arrangements and instrumental interplay can energize and pack a dance floor across generations.” (The Day of New London) \nSean Nelson is the leader and founder of the band. By day\, he is enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard\, where he plays trombone with the Coast Guard Band’s concert band and jazz ensembles\, serves as staff arranger\, and is music director for the Guardians Big Band. \nNelson was music director and arranger for the 2024 National Christmas Tree Lighting with the Coast Guard’s Guardians Big Band\, creating over 500 pages of arrangements. This was performed in front of the White House and seen nationally on CBS. Sean was one of two composers that co-created the official song of the Space Force\, Semper Supra\, which is now part of every Armed Forces Medley. He also composed the official song for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officer corps (one of the eight federal uniformed services). He has won the National Band Association Young Composers Jazz Composition Contest and is a two­ time winner of Downbeat Magazine’s jazz arranging award. He currently works as the arranger for Sam Houston State University Bearkat Marching Band. Sean’s big band arrangements are published at iJazzmusic.com. \nA native of Dallas\, Texas\, Sean received a Bachelor of Music degree from Sam Houston State University and a Master of Music degree from the University of North Texas. While at North Texas\, he was trombonist and composer for the One O’Clock Lab Band and sang with the Jazz Singers I. Sean’s trombone quartet won the International Trombone Association Quartet Contest. He spent his summers and winter breaks playing in house bands on cruise ships for Princess Cruises and Cunard Cruises. \nSean lives in Quaker Hill\, Connecticut\, with his wife Megan and children Lucinda\, Giles\, McCoy\, and Cab.

SUMMARY:Matt Parker Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special night of jazz with Saxophonist Matt Parker and his Quartet! \n\n\n\n\nMatt Parker is a tenor and soprano saxophone player\, born and raised in Fort Lauderdale\, Florida. After seeing trumpeter Maynard Ferguson in concert\, he fell in love with jazz and was mentored by the legendary South Florida saxophonist Jimmy Cavallo. Parker played professionally as a teenager in New Orleans before moving to New York to study with Jane Ira Bloom\, Barry Harris\, and Junior Mance. Later\, Parker would go on to play in Maynard’s band Big Bop Nouveau for two years and is on the album “MF Horn VI: Live At Ronnie’s” (2006). \nParker’s career has been wildly eclectic\, showcasing his tireless explorative spirit and chameleon-like style. He has paid tribute to both avant-garde players and straight-ahead stalwarts on his albums “Worlds Put Together” (2014) and “Present Time”(2016)\, and has collaborated with a wide range of musicians\, including Reggie Watkins\, Ariana Grande\, Orrin Evans\, Hess is More\, and the Mingus Big Band. He is also a member of the viral ensemble Postmodern Jukebox and has made appearances (both musical and on-screen) in the hit action film “John Wick”.  The Dorrance Dance company features Parker in “45th and 8th” premiering nationally (2022-23). He is also a featured performer with comedian\, and renowned entertainer Murray Hill and Bridget Everrett (“Somebody\, Somewhere”). Parker’s experience with the Cape Town Youth Choir\, where he learned the importance of blending and the beauty of collaboration\, has had a profound impact on his music. \nCharles Mingus’ previously unrecorded “Song To Keki” makes its first appearance on Parker’s album\, which the Ottawa Citizen called “a warmly swinging showcase for his breathy\, Ben Webster-esque flow.” The same publication noted that Parker’s playing on the tune builds momentum until his tenor seems like it will come apart in his hands. The Ottawa Citizen also described the album as having an overall compositional and improvisational contrast that catches the listener by surprise. \nDownBeat Magazine praised Parker’s “own tireless explorative spirit\,” while JAZZIZ Magazine described Parker as someone who “welcomes listeners with warmth and wit.” Hot House noted that Parker’s playing can recall the gruff-yet-sensuous lines of Ben Webster\, while Outside-Inside-Out said\, “Parker can do anything…he swings his ass off.” Something Else Reviews called Parker “restlessly inventive” and “showed off his resourcefulness and playfulness\,” while The Village Voice praised him as a “Tenor and soprano sax whiz.” All About Jazz said Parker “can’t be pigeonholed into just one tradition” and that “he has arrived on the creative music scene a fully formed artist – one with his own unique voice and singular vision.” \nParker is also a prolific composer and musical director. He has written music for various ensembles\, including big bands\, small groups\, and studio orchestras for film. Parker’s compositions often blend elements of woodwind instrumentation with more adventurous\, avant-garde approaches. Complex harmonies\, intricate rhythms\, and bold\, imaginative melodies characterize his music. \nParker has featured his compositions on several albums\, including “Worlds Put Together” (2014)\, “One for Miles\, One for Maynard” (2014)\, and “Present Time”(2016). He has also composed for the Immersive theater show “MidSummer – A Shakespearience” (Variety Life Productions)\, the original audio drama series “Brother\, Mine” (Hand Forged Fiction 2020) and the immersive sound walk experience “Kierkbride” (Hand Forged Fiction 2022). Critics have praised his music for its originality\, energy\, and emotional depth. \nIn addition to his work as a saxophonist\, composer\, and musical director\, Matt Parker is also a passionate educator. He teaches saxophone\, composition\, and improvisation at several universities and music schools\, inspiring young musicians to develop their own unique voices.

SUMMARY:Matt Dwonszyk Quintet Album Release Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special night of jazz with Bassist Matt Dwonszyk and his Quintet\, to celebrate the release of his new album! \n\n\n\n\nJosh Evans- Trumpet \nMatt Knoegel- Tenor Saxophone \nTBD- Piano \nMatt Dwonszyk- Bass \nJonathan Barber-Drums \nMatt Dwonszyk is a Connecticut-born\, New York-based\, bassist\, composer\, arranger\, bandleader and educator. He can regularly be found with drummer Jonathan Barber’s Vision Ahead\, trios by pianist Jon Davis Trio and saxophonist Julieta Eugenio\, and saxophonist Sarah Hanahan’s quartet. He also leads his namesake ensemble\, the Dwonztet. Dwonszyk began playing the electric bass at age eleven. At the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts High School\, he switched to upright bass. Dwonszyk then continued his studies at the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at the University of Hartford. There\, Dwonszyk developed a profound rapport with trombonist Steve Davis and bassist Nat Reeves\, whose insight led to a career as a top-call bassist in his native Connecticut. After graduating with a Bachelor’s of Music in Jazz Studies from UHart\, Dwonszyk obtained a Master’s of Music at SUNY Purchase College in New York. He soon was performing at legendary jazz venues like Smalls\, Smoke\, Minton’s\, Zinc Bar\, Birdland\, and the Jazz Standard. In 2018 — the year he released his debut album\, Wonderful World\, — Dwonszyk toured Russia as part of the Rainy Days Jazz Festival. In 2019\, he toured through Canada with the Oleg Butman Trio and in 2020 with Jonathan Barber and Vision Ahead through the West Coast. In 2022\, he released A Year and a Day\, recorded with his versatile\, namesake ensemble\, the Dwonztet. That year\, with the Julieta Eugenio Trio\, Dwonszyk won the 2022 DC JazzPrix Competition at the Washington\, DC Jazz Festival. In 2023\, the Dwonztet performed at the Hartford Baby Grand Jazz Series\, The Northampton Jazz Strut\, Smalls Jazz Club\, The Side Door Jazz Club\, and the Poli Club. The following year\, they performed at the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival\, Hartford Jazz Festival\, and Springfield Jazz and Roots Festival. True to his roots\, Dwonszyk’s latest album was 2024’s Donny Time: The Music of Don DePalma\, an album-length tribute to Hartford’s late\, great pianist — with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the DePalma Roy Scholarship. Since 2020\, he has taught jazz bass at Manchester Community College and Central Connecticut State College; at the latter\, Dwonszyk also teaches jazz history. In 2024 Dwonszyk he taught jazz bass at the University of Hartford and in 2025 at UMass Amherst. He also teaches privately. This year Dwonszyk’s performed and recorded in Buenos Aires\, Argentina; His next album “Live at the Side Door” is scheduled to release in the fall of 2025.

SUMMARY:Tuxedo Junction
DESCRIPTION:For over 24 years\, hosting public rehearsals every Monday night\, now at Guilford VFW Post 7666. \nTuxedo Junction was started in 1989 by Pete Jacobs (trumpet) and Will Tayler (drums)\, WWII veterans who set up an 8-piece Dixieland jazz band in the basement of the senior citizens center in Madison\, CT. Pat soon joined on piano. \nThe band quickly grew into a full swing band as Pete added big band arrangements and people joined: everyone from high school students to retired music teachers started to fill out the sections. Tuxedo Junction moved its practice home to the Westbrook Elks briefly\, and in 1997 Paul James suggested that Bill’s Seafood restaurant in Westbrook would be a great place to share the sounds of swing. After more than 20 years of Monday nights at Bill’s\, originally outnumbering the customers and staff before turning it into the most happening place on the Shoreline for a Monday night\, we moved outside to Town Greens\, Overlook Farm in Killingworth\, and the Guilford VFW. \nTuxedo Junction plays original big band arrangements from the 30’s through the present\, including charts from Count Basie\, Duke Ellington\, Glenn Miller\, Sy Zentner\, Buddy Rich\, Frank Sinatra\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and more. We focus on danceable tunes from swing to waltz\, foxtrot to two-step\, Latin and even some rock. The band has weekly open rehearsals at local venues on the Eastern Connecticut shoreline. The public is invited to dance and listen in at no charge. We are also available for hire at public and private events throughout Connecticut. \nAfter more than 1\,001 performances\, Tuxedo Junction has become a musical success story. We are now eighteen passionate musicians\, men and women of all ages\, following the great jazz tradition and warmly welcoming visiting jazz musicians to sit in.

SUMMARY:John Hollenbeck’s GEORGE
DESCRIPTION:Anna Webber (tenor saxophone/flute)\, Sarah Rossy (voice/keyboards)\, Chiquita Magic (keyboards/voice)\, John Hollenbeck (drums/composition) \nFrom the Greek name Georgios\, which was derived from the Greek word georgos meaning “farmer\, earthworker”\, itself derived from the elements γῆ (ge) meaning “earth” and ergon meaning “work”. \nGeorge Washington Carver\, George Gervin\, George Clooney\, George Floyd\, George Wein\, Georgia (the state and the country)\, Georgia O’Keefe\, Saint George\, George Saunders\, George Michael\, George Carlin\, George Clinton\, George Frideric Handel\, George Orwell\, Boy George\, Curious George\, George the magazine\, etc… \nJohn Hollenbeck formed GEORGE during the Covid pandemic. He brought together three great musicians/people whom he loved and admired for a long time! Even though most of the members had never met each other\, John was confident from knowing them himself\, that this group would immediately be\, as one of the members calls it\, “tight” (which means “very cool” in case you were wondering.) Their group sound is firmly planted outside any categories or labels\, so good luck with that! They remotely recorded a literal “Proof of Concept” in March 2021 and finally met in person in January 2022 in Montreal\, Canada where they recorded Letters to George\, which was released on vinyl/cd/digitally on Out Of Your Head Records on January 27\, 2023. On August 27th\, 2023\, GEORGE released “short”\, 4 re-composed remixes based on improvisations from their 1st recording session. \nAnna Webber is a flutist\, saxophonist\, and composer whose interests and work live in the aesthetic overlap between avant-garde jazz and new classical music. She was recently named a 2021 Berlin Prize Fellow and was voted the top “Rising Star” flutist in the 2020 Downbeat Critic’s Poll. \nSarah Rossy is a vocalist\, keyboardist\, composer and producer based in Montreal\, Canada. Sarah’s practice combines live electronic processing with jazz\, folk\, and Arabic music to create autobiographical\, ethereal\, and socially-outspoken soundscapes. Recent themes in Sarah’s work include ancestral continua\, intergenerational linkage\, and community healing. A debut audiovisual album\, a tender autobiographical soundscape imagined through a kaleidoscopic electronic jazz lens entitled ‘OF WHO WE HAVE BECOME’\, is set for release in 2024. \nIsis Paola Giraldo AKA Chiquita Magic is a latinx artist/producer hailing from Colombia and based in Canada. She uses microtonal synthesizers\, her voice\, and a drum machine to create a unique sound that can be described as futuristic electro pop with elements of EDM\, hip hop\, cumbia\, funk\, reggaeton\, choirs & jazz. \nGenre-crossing composer/percussionist John Hollenbeck\, renowned in both the jazz and new-music worlds\, has gained widespread recognition as the driving force behind the unclassifiable Claudia Quintet and the ambitious John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble\, groups with roots in jazz\, world music\, and contemporary composition. He has earned six GRAMMY nominations and has worked with many of the world’s leading musicians in jazz including Bob Brookmeyer\, Fred Hersch\, Tony Malaby\, and is well known in new-music circles for his long-time collaboration with Meredith Monk.

DESCRIPTION:Born in 1986\, Preminger grew up in Canton\, Connecticut\, before going to Hall High School in West Hartford – the institution that produced several well-known jazz musicians.

Since then\, he has been a two-time winner of Downbeat Magazine’s Rising Star Best Tenor Saxophonist and has recorded over 20 critically acclaimed albums as a band-leader. He has performed jazz concerts on key stages around the globe\, playing with a pantheon of contemporary jazz talents. \nTwo new recordings were released by Preminger: Ballads (Chill Tone) featuring pianist Julian Shore\, bassist Kim Cass\, and drummer Allan Mednard\, as well as Dark Days (Criss Cross)\, which features guitarist Ely Perlman\, bassist Kim Cass\, and drummer Terreon Gully.
