Hudson View Gardens: Jazz with the Randal Despommier Quartet

Hudson View Gardens Performing Arts Group presents an evening of jazz with the Randal Despommier Quartet at The Lounge at HVG

The quartet’s program celebrates the vinyl release of South – a New Orleans-roots record – and also includes new tunes and arrangements including poetry in Farsi. The Randal Despommier Quartet grew out of the New Orleans born-and-bred bandleader’s long-running duo collaboration with HVG’s own pianist Jason Yeager. Appearing with the group at Hudson View Gardens are bassist Kelsey Mines, drummer Jay Sawyer, and guest vocalist Mahya Hamedi.

The concert is open to the public; admission is $20 suggested donation ($15 for seniors/students; under 8 free) at the door. The audience is invited to meet the performers at a post-performance wine reception.

Hike the Heights Presents: Jazz & Community Fundraiser

Join us for a special evening of live jazz, community, and good vibes at Buunni Inwood — all in support of Hike the Heights, northern Manhattan’s beloved annual community hike, now in its 22nd year.

Come unwind with neighbors, enjoy live jazz, sip from a cash bar, and try your luck in our community raffle. Every ticket directly supports Hike the Heights on June 6th.

Hike the Heights has been a neighborhood tradition for over two decades, bringing hundreds of northern Manhattan residents together each year for a community walk through our local parks and green spaces. It’s powered entirely by community — and so is this evening.
