The 10th Annual Wall Street Jazz Festival | Aug. 30th & 31st, 2013
in Uptown Kingston, New York
In
celebration of our 10 year anniversary, Ritenuto Foundation, is proud
to present The 2013 Wall Street Jazz Festival – “where the traditions
meet the progressives, and all the leaders are women”. This year brings another stellar line-up for the August 30th & 31st event:
This
year’s Art of the Duo concert will feature Piano Duos, with Dena
Derose, Francesca Tanksley, Nina Sheldon, and Peggy Stern. The concert
will take place on Friday night August 30th, at the Old Dutch Church,
Wall Street & Main Street, 8 Pm, tickets $15 at the door.
The
next day, the traditional outdoor concert, held at the corner of North
Front and Wall Streets, will begin at 6 PM, with the Claire Daly
Quartet. Continuing at 7-9 PM, with the All-Play Set, featuring an
all-star cast: Ingrid Jensen, Jay Clayton, “Sweet” Sue Terry, Teri
Roiger, Judi Silvano, Dena Derose, Maryann McSweeney, Francesca
Tanksley, Peggy Stern, John Menegon, Jon Wikan, Lew Scott, Peter
O’Brien, Claire Daly, and Suzi Stern. This highly unusual set will
feature mixed duos, trios, quartets and quintets, and represents a first
mix-and-match for the Wall street Jazz Festival.
And then at 9 PM,
Estrella! Salsa, for dancing in the street! Estrella features Sue Terry,
Ingrid Jensen, and Claire Daly in the front line, with back up from an
all-star rhythm section: Peggy Stern, Lew Scott, Peter O’Brien, and
Emilio Valdez.
For the past 9 years, our Festival has been
fortunate to have beautiful weather for our outdoor event; we are
expecting the trend to continue – however, in the case of rain, the
concert will be moved indoors to Backstage Productions, 323 Wall Street.
