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:New Haven Improvisers Collective presents  THE BARRY SEROFF LARGE ENSEMBLE
DESCRIPTION:New Haven Improvisers Collective presents \nTHE BARRY SEROFF LARGE ENSEMBLE \nAnd the premiere of 2 PART INCEPTIONS FOR UNPREPARED IMPROVISERS \nThursday\, November 5th at the Ely Center for Contemporary Art – Doors at 6:30pm \nConnecticut-Based / NYC-Trained Composer and His 12-Piece Ensemble‍‍ Perform Original Works \nOn November 5th the Danbury\, Connecticut composer Barry Seroff returns to New Haven to play alongside his 12-piece orchestra at The Ely Center for Contemporary Art. This all-ages concert will include a performance by The Barry Seroff Large Ensemble and the premiere of 2 Part Inceptions for Unprepared Improvisers\, to be performed by willing participants chosen by chance. Presented by an ensemble fronted by some of the best improvisers of CT and NYC\, Seroff’s Large Ensemble arrangements are settings of the iconic haiku of Edo-Period poet Yosa Buson and the surviving fragments of the pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles. The Bach inspired 2 Part Inceptions allow space for Seroff’s compositions to be realized through the instincts of improvisers of all styles. \nThe Barry Seroff Large Ensemble is comprised of vocalist Stefan Paolini\, guitarist Bob Gorry\, Chapman Stick player Brett Bottomley\, Keyboardist Tom Schmidt\, woodwinds Elliott Levin and David Aaron\, French Hornist Kyra Sims\, Baritone Hornist Nate Trier\, Violinist Nate Bixby\, Double Bassists Trevor O’Loughlin and Christie Echols\, and drummer Mike Brooks. \nOver the past 15 years\, Seroff has honed his performance skills as the flautist and guitarist in a number of prog rock and jam bands\, including The Accidental Villain\, The Onion Rats\, and the critically acclaimed Edensong. A versatile and virtuosic musician with endless curiosity\, Seroff’s major work\, Democracy\, (available on all streaming services)\, provides ample insight into his cutting-edge approach and abstract sensibilities. This concert expands on the success of Seroff’s Large Ensemble performance in NYC as well as recent major performances overseas. \n“The Large Ensemble pieces explore ancient texts using contemporary improvisational language across both experimental and more traditional means.” says Seroff\, “whereas the Inceptions offer an opportunity for players and audiences to explore intuitive explorations in concepts of music and sound.” \nComposer and multi-instrumentalist Barry Seroff has crafted works performed by Paul Pinto\, Anti-Social Music\, and ThingNY; played extensively with the New Haven Improvisers Ensemble and Unassigned (featuring Ken Schalk of Candiria); and organized the Empathy Is the Cure fundraising concert series. Seroff’s best known work is the long-form Democracy\, a multifaceted\, genre-spanning symphonic examination of the spiritual and philosophical roots of American thought. He currently performs regularly as the flautist for the progressive band Edensong\, whose most recent album\, 2025’s Our Road to Dust\,was called “fullbodied\, unpredictable\, and stunning” by Loudwire. \nABOUT THE ELY CENTER \nThe Ely Center of Contemporary Art (ECOCA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to presenting contemporary art exhibitions and events — challenging\, conceptual\, and provocative — that are inclusive\, diverse\, and promote dialogue around global and community issues. They are a start-up with a 55-year history. What began as the John Slade Ely House\, a New Haven art center established in 1961 by Grace T. Ely\, continues today as ECOCA: an institution rebuilt and sustained by artists and community members because they believe in it. Our board and curatorial committee are entirely volunteer-driven\, supported by one full-time and one part-time staff member and our paid interns. It’s a small engine for a long legacy.

SUMMARY:Make Jazz Trill Again: “New York Love Songs/Jazz School”
DESCRIPTION:Producer and documentarian Darah Golub studied vocal performance at The New School for Jazz\, where she met Melanie Charles and initiated “The New York Love Songs” documentary project in 2007. The work-in-process is a longitudinal documentary nearly two decades in the making\, offering an intimate chronicle of musicians navigating the journey from jazz school to adulthood. The footage spans early moments of connection\, friendship\, and artistic aspiration\, as well as scenes of discipline\, labor\, and emotional transformation. Golub will screen a 30-minute excerpt of the film\, to be followed by a facilitated conversation with Melanie Charles as the two artists examine the origins of the film\, its integration into The Lunacy of Not Believing performance\, and its connection to the broader Make Jazz Trill Again practice. \nAdmission is free\, and everyone is welcome. \nWe encourage you to RSVP to help us with our planning and to get a reminder the day before this event. While RSVPs are not required for entry\, they are a big help!

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.
