As our seasons tend to do in our region, it seems like summer has come to an abrupt end. And, with it, several of the outdoor jazz we were fortunate to experience. Thank you to all who supported JazzMondays at Tappo Restaurant Patios, Jazz at Chandlerville, and the Hotel Henry Summer Jazz Series. It allowed us all to get some sense of normalcy and to enjoy the music we love.
For fall and winter, we will look at creative ways to keep jazz alive, including live jazz live streams!
(Many thanks to all those who contributed to the “Keep Local Live Jazz Alive” Fund. The fund enables us to provide opportunities to jazz musicians and support venues. Continued contributions are welcomed.)

Dinner Jazz at Hotel Henry 100 Acres Kitchens Restaurant
The Hotel Henry and JazzBuffalo partnered together to bring to you one of the most memorable events of this summer and even past summers as we enjoyed great music in the outdoor surroundings of the historic park-like setting. Our original intent was to offer diners at the 100 Acres Kitchens Patio jazz music accompaniment. Now that the cooler weather is returning, JazzBuffalo will be setting up jazz music inside the Hotel Henry/100 Acres Kitchens for diners to listen to during dinner on Wednesdays and Thursdays of each week.
Dinner Jazz at Hotel Henry 100 Acres Kitchens Restaurant
JazzBuffalo will be partnering with the Hotel Henry and 100 Acres Kitchens to enhance their dining experience when the cooler weather returns. Dining will be moved indoors from the outdoor patio. Diners will now be able to enjoy music performed by jazz artists from the landing of the historic staircase. Which will be more than sufficiently socially distanced compliant. JazzBuffalo will feature duos and trios to offer dinner jazz heard throughout the 100 Acres Kitchens Restaurant and at the northside…

But Frankie Dunlop’s very short role in it […]
