A Jazz Forum favorite, Grammy-nominated piano master Christian Sands has earned raves for two decades!

At only 34, sophisticated musician/composer Christian Sands is among the leading jazz pianists of his generation. A former child prodigy (beginning lessons at four, gigging at seven), mentored by Dr. Billy Taylor and Dave Brubeck, he’s more than lived up to his early promise.

He’s played on over 30 recordings, including nine as a leader, garnered a pair of Grammy nominations and rave performance reviews. The London Jazz News calls him “an extraordinarily complete musician.”

Jazz Forum, Westchester County’s only dedicated jazz club, is tucked away on a side street in downtown Tarrytown. Drawing musicians from around the world, the club strives to make music affordable and accessible. Headline jazz artists perform on Friday and Saturday nights with two sets per night at 7 and 9:30 pm. Two Sunday afternoon sets at 4 pm and 6 pm often feature Brazilian and Latin jazz. Check the club’s website for each weekend’s performer list and to purchase tickets. Many shows sell out in advance, get yours early.

The Jazz Forum offers a full menu including entrées, dinner plates, cured meats and cheese, tapenades and house-made desserts. It has a full bar and features fine Italian wines, local draft beers and specialty cocktails. The food and drink menu is available for all Friday, Saturday and Sunday shows.

Jazz Forum also produces a popular series of outdoor summer concerts at five Hudson River locations: Lyndhurst mansion, Tarrytown’s Pierson Park, Sleepy Hollow’s Horan’s Landing Park, Dobbs Ferry Waterfront Park, and Henry Gourdine Park in Ossining.
