The Grand St. Stompers
Nightfall: Danse Macabre
Green-Wood Cemetery (Brooklyn)
7–10PM, tickets required
(Rain date: 10/21) “The undeniable truth is, we are all going to die. So why not embrace the inevitable and go dancing to our graves? This year’s Nightfall—the crowning event of Green-Wood’s fall season—is inspired by the danse macabre or dance of death. Dating to the Middle Ages, it describes skeletons enticing kings, cardinals, and common folk to their graves with musical accompaniment (or for the more reluctant, by hook or by crook). It’s a poignant reminder that the same fate awaits us all. Till then, shake off any fears or anxieties and join us in a celebration of time we have left together.”

Featuring the Grand St. Stompers with Kim Hawkey, Gordon Au, Matt Koza, Josh Holcomb, Vinny Raniolo, Sean Cronin, and Andrew Millar.

See posts + videos by Jazz Lives here and here!

The Grand St. Stompers, a band described by the NY Times as “a pillar of New York’s hot jazz scene,” present HOLIDAY STOMP, a celebration of the season. As music writer Michael Steinman describes it: “The Grand St. Stompers are creative joymakers. Their ensembles rock; their solos soar; the band can sound like the Louis Armstrong All-Stars then hint at Gil Evans or Forties Ellington. Sweet or tart vocals by Tamar Korn and Molly Ryan tie up the holiday package with a glossy bow. The music celebrates the season but it’s nothing like the formulaic seasonal blare. No Rudolph, no drummer boy—just pleasure, ingenuity, and sly humor.”

“Opening in 2021, Chelsea Table + Stage is New York's newest hotspot for intimate dining and music. Offering a wide variety of American-fare menu items, with curated wine + cocktails, audiences can experience some of the best touring performers in the world featured alongside local emerging artists.
