SUMMARY:Eric Stern’s Cuban Jazz Project
DESCRIPTION:A vibrant fusion of Cuban timba and American jazz\, this trio blends infectious dance rhythms with bold improvisation and harmonic depth\, creating a fresh sound that honors both traditions while pushing them forward. \n7:30 PM (First Set) \n9:30 PM (Jam Session) \n10:30 PM (Second Set) \nAdmission: $20 cover charge for mezzanine seating · $10 for jammers \nFeaturing:\nEric Stern – Piano\nGeorge Greenhill – Drums\nJohn Benitez – Bass \nAbout: Eric Stern’s Cuban Jazz Project: \nIt is a new trio. The project aims to seamlessly blend two genres of music – Cuban timba\, the cuban dance music of Elito Reve\, Alex Abreu\, Los Van Van\, and others\, and American jazz\, which Eric grew up with in Brooklyn – the music of Thelonious Monk\, Charlie Parker\, Bud Powell\, and the great American Songbook. By incorporating jazz improvisation and harmonic innovation into the format of a standard cuban timba band\, never losing danceability or rhythmic sensibility\, the project blends both timba and jazz into one music\, honoring both traditions while moving the music forward\, together. \nAbout Eric Stern: \nEric Stern is a pianist and composer based in New York City. Eric plays a variety of genres of music\, including latin jazz with John Benitez\, salsa with Carabali\, modern jazz with Noah Myers’ Sonder\, hip-hop with Good Lives Crew\, and straight-ahead jazz with a myriad of young artists. Eric’s ability to blend these influences seamlessly into any performance\, while staying authentic to each genre\, has allowed Eric to quickly establish himself as a rising star in the NYC music scene.

SUMMARY:Julian Miltenberger Quartet— Jazz
DESCRIPTION:An evening of contemporary jazz led by drummer and composer Julian Miltenberger\, where Afro-Caribbean rhythms\, deep groove\, and modern improvisation converge in a dynamic\, richly textured quartet sound. \n7:30 pm to 8:30 pm (First Set)\n9:30 pm to 10:30 pm (Second Set)  \nAdmission: $20 Cover charge Mezzanine \nFeaturing:\nGabriel Chakarji | Piano\nOr Bareket | Bass\nSalim Charvet | Saxophone\nJulian Miltenberger | Drums\, Composition & Direction \nAbout Julian Miltenberger: \nJulian Miltenberger is a drummer\, composer\, and rhythmic architect from Philadelphia\, PA\, now based in Brooklyn\, NYC. A product of the Harvard/Berklee dual degree program\, he studied under the mentorship of master saxophonist and bandleader Yosvany Terry\, whose influence shaped Julian’s deep commitment to the African diaspora as a living musical force. That commitment took him beyond the classroom — to Cuba and West Africa — where he conducted firsthand research into the folkloric percussion traditions that now form the bedrock of his artistic voice. \nJulian’s work is rooted in reverence and propelled by curiosity. He approaches the drum set as a vessel for the full breadth of Afro-Caribbean rhythm\, translating the vocabulary of traditional percussion into a modern framework that embraces collective improvisation\, metric complexity\, and expansive sonic texture. The result is music that honors its sources without being bound by them — a mosaic where ancient groove meets contemporary harmonic and structural thinking. \nFor this project\, Julian is joined by three exceptional voices: Salim Charvet on saxophone\, Gabriel Chakarji on piano\, and Or Bareket on bass. \nAs a sideman\, Julian has performed alongside some of the most celebrated names in jazz and Latin music\, including Yosvany Terry\, Edmar Castaneda\, Vijay Iyer\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Lucía\, Godwin Louis\, Diego Urcola\, Darren Barrett\, Manuel Valera\, Axel Tosca\, Samuel Torres\, Wayne Tucker\, and Ricky Rodriguez. He is a regular member of the Birdland Latin Jazz Orchestra\, and has appeared with the Luxembourg Philharmonic and the Boston Pops.
