Cooperstown, NY See Map |
 A Stick & A Box; Brian Melick & Studio Stu, perform the basic form of jazz interpretation, drum and bass/voice duo, a sort of, ‘Duja Vey’ (the feeling that none of this ever happened before).
This eccentric jazz duo takes the very best in classic jazz and pop, and twists and bends them into what they call ‘evocative jazz, exotic lounge’. In this ‘duo virtuosi’, nothing is sacred.....improv is rampant...lyrics are changed at will...familiar languages are obliterated....harmonies are sweet and sour perfection, and yet, serious, sophisticated and uncompromising in execution. The is one in-tune, out-of-tune, offbeat outfit.

Late Nite Catechism is an uproariously funny play that takes the audience back to their youth!
The irrepressible Sister teaches class to a roomful of “students.” Throughout the course of the class, the benevolent instructor rewards the “students” for correct answers with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and other nifty prizes.
Naughty “students” may well find themselves on stage sitting in a corner reflecting their actions. However, even the most reluctant “students” will be clamoring to get into this Sister’s class!
The New York Times calls Late Nite Catechism “interactive theater at its best and full of laughs.”

 Jack Grace is Wandering Jack (with the Flowery Hat)
"It sounds like Cole Porter meets Gene Autry" - New York Times
Wandering Jack plays a magical repertoire of original children's songs mixed with some old classics and has garnered quite the following of children and parents in a short span of time.
He plays guitar, harmonica, ukulele, banjo and piano, shifting focus on different instruments for a wide range of engaging scenarios.
But the music is about children and their special world. He can get children laughing and dancing about volcanoes, jumping on the bed or understanding that all living creatures get a chance to be babies. The emphasis is on fun but the lesson is simply, all children are one of a kind, deserve love , what they feel is important, and the world is a wonderful place to explore.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC...in the beautiful Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY....
The Poughkeepsie Jazz Project was created in 2012 with the goal of maintaining live jazz culture and community in Poughkeepsie, NY. Since its inception, The PKJP has presented a weekly jazz jam session accessible to all musicians and fans of live music. Over the past twelve years, the jam has been honored to host hundreds of musicians from the Tri-state area. This event is free to both participants and listeners. All with a passion for jazz are welcome.

Acclaimed bassist Ben Basile is thrilled to announce The Benergy Album Release Tour! Best known for his work with Big D and The Kids Table and The Poughkeepsie Jazz project, Ben has performed and recorded with countless artists throughout his career, this marks his first album entirely of his own compositions. Ben believes bassists offer a unique perspective on composition and arrangement, crafting music from a ‘bottom-up’ approach. This philosophy shines through in the album’s thoughtful yet minimalistic arrangements. Each track brings a distinct sound, featuring an eclectic mix of musicians from Ben’s two musical worlds: ska and jazz.
