The Watchung Arts Center will host its first “International Jazz Day Concert” featuring John Lenis (acoustic bass), Gavin Davies (drums) and Chris DeVito (piano) plus special guest Mayuko Abe (trumpet).

Concert starts at 7:00 pm and includes an open jam session at 8:30 pm featuring music students from local schools as well as local jazz artists. Tickets are $20 (free for music students with advance jam session registration) and can be purchased at WatchungArts.com.

Mayuko is a visiting jazz artist from Japan who is earning her graduate degree at William Paterson College. It is fitting that this rising star jazz artist is joining us on April 30^th, designated by UNESCO as International Jazz Day and the final day of April, designated as “Jazz Appreciation Month”, or “JAM” by the Smithsonian Institute.  
 

Complimentary wine (21 and older, ID required) and snacks served at 6:30 pm
