March Brings Spectacular Jazz to Buffalo – Don’t Miss a Beat!
March is shaping up to be a fabulous month for jazz in Buffalo! We’re thrilled to bring you unforgettable performances, starting with the Art of Jazz Series featuring the incredible Joe Alterman Trio at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum on March 9—a must-see tribute to the legendary Les McCann and the vibrant soul jazz tradition. Then, we bring back Art Meets Jazz at Hunt Art Gallery / Beebe’s at the Gallery on Wednesday, March 19, featuring the exhilarating rhythms of the Wendell Rivera Latin Jazz Trio—an evening of vibrant Latin jazz in an inspiring setting.
Of course, our weekly jazz partnerships continue to thrive—enjoy the sounds of Dozo My Lady and the Kathy Carr Trio alternating Mondays at Tappo Restaurant. Continue to experience the timeless elegance of Buffalo’s longest-running jazz brunch every Sunday at the Terrace at Delaware Park.
Stay tuned—there’s more exciting news ahead as we continue building Buffalo’s vibrant jazz community. See you at the music!
