SUMMARY:Benito Gonzalez Trio w/ Buster Williams & Lenny White
DESCRIPTION:A trio of jazz titans comes to The Side Door\, two-time Grammy nominee Benito Gonzalez joined by legends Buster Williams and Lenny White. \n\n\n\n\nBenito Gonzalez – Piano \nBuster Williams – Bass \nLenny White – Drums \nBorn in Maracaibo\, Venezuela\, Benito Gonzalez grew up immersed in traditional Venezuelan folk music before discovering jazz through the playing of Herbie Hancock\, McCoy Tyner\, Chick Corea\, and Keith Jarrett\, an early inspiration that shaped his powerful\, Afro-Latin-infused approach to the piano. Gonzalez made his way to the United States by a serendipitous route\, an American cultural ambassador caught one of his trio gigs and later invited him to Washington\, D.C. He went on to play with Jackie McLean in 2003\, then spent nearly seven years touring with Kenny Garrett’s quartet\, earning two Grammy nominations for the recordings Seeds from the Underground and Pushing the World Away. In 2019 he joined NEA Jazz Master and Coltrane protégé Pharoah Sanders as pianist and musical director. A 2005 winner of the Great American Jazz Piano Competition and a Steinway artist since 2020\, Gonzalez has shared the stage with Dave Liebman\, Roy Hargrove\, Christian McBride\, Nicholas Payton\, Al Foster\, and many others. \nJoining him are two of the most legendary rhythm section players in jazz history. Bassist Buster Williams has anchored some of the most important recordings and bands of the past six decades\, from Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis to McCoy Tyner and Ron Carter\, and remains one of the most revered bassists in the music. Drummer Lenny White\, a member of the original lineup of Return to Forever and a Grammy-winning legend in his own right\, brings a depth of groove and history matched by few. Together\, this trio represents three generations of jazz mastery converging in one room. \nThe Side Door Jazz Club is a dedicated jazz listening room located inside the historic Old Lyme Inn\, 85 Lyme Street\, Old Lyme\, CT. Tickets are reserved seating. Guests dining at the Old Lyme Inn prior to the show receive 10% off their dinner bill

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.

More recently he has fronted his own quartets. He has performed with Roy Eldridge\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Woody Herman\, Eddie Higgins\, Milt Hinton\, Dave McKenna\, Melvin Rhyne\, and many others.

SUMMARY:Nat Reeves Sextet "Now in Time" Album Release Show
DESCRIPTION:Nat Reeves brings his sextet to The Side Door\, the same all-star group from his new album Now in Time. \n\n\n\n\nNat Reeves – Bass\nEric Alexander – Tenor Saxophone\nSteve Davis – Trombone\nEddie Henderson – Trumpet\nCaelan Cardello – Piano\nJeff “Tain” Watts – Drums \nFor over 40 years\, Nat Reeves has been one of the most respected bassists in jazz. Early in his career he performed with Jackie McLean\, Benny Golson\, Donald Byrd\, Art Taylor\, Mulgrew Miller\, Kenny Kirkland\, and Kenny Drew. He became a longtime member of Kenny Garrett’s group beginning in 1994\, and has worked and recorded with Pharoah Sanders\, George Coleman\, Harold Mabern\, George Cables\, and Joe Farnsworth\, among many others. He has released three albums as a leader\, State of Emergency\, Blue Ridge\, and now Now in Time\, released April 17\, 2026 on Cellar Live. \nNow in Time brings together an extraordinary lineup spanning multiple generations of jazz\, twelve tracks running just over an hour that move comfortably between Reeves’ own original compositions and a thoughtful selection of standards\, including “On Green Dolphin Street\,” “Alice in Wonderland\,” and a tribute to Marvin Gaye with “The Creator Has a Master Plan.” Throughout the record\, Reeves’ bass acts as a quiet narrator\, steering the music’s direction with the kind of unhurried confidence that comes from four decades on the bandstand. Critics have praised the album as a recording that rewards close\, attentive listening\, one that resists the pace of casual consumption and instead invites listeners to settle into a long evening built on the trust and shared musical language of these six players. \nThis is a rare chance to hear the album’s celebrated lineup perform the music live\, in an intimate setting. \nThe Side Door Jazz Club is a dedicated jazz listening room located inside the historic Old Lyme Inn\, 85 Lyme Street\, Old Lyme\, CT. Tickets are reserved seating. Guests dining at the Old Lyme Inn prior to the show receive 10% off their dinner bill.
