Local musicians propose one-time jazz performance for Middletown 250th
Summary
A music applicant proposed a single jazz performance tied to the 250th, saying the grant would fund a five-piece ensemble and outreach to younger audiences via Middlesex Music and Every Note Counts; the applicant proposed October as the date but said the city’s schedule is flexible.
A local musician (speaker 5) told the commission the proposed project would be a one-time jazz performance tied to the 250th that also connects to educational material on figures such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane. The applicant said the grant would cover a single performance featuring five musicians — piano, saxophone, trumpet, drums and bass — and named Maria as the saxophone player and himself as the pianist.
The musician said the aim is to make the program accessible and multigenerational, leveraging reach from partner groups such as Middlesex Music and Every Note Counts to attract younger audiences. He said October was the proposed performance month but that the city’s year-long programming window allows flexibility; venue possibilities mentioned included Buttonwood and Middlesex Music. “There’d be 5 performers. I’ll be playing piano. Maria’s gonna play saxophone,” the applicant said.
