New Jersey, this is the caliber of jazz you'd expect to find at the world's most celebrated clubs, right here in Teaneck.
Join us for an extraordinary evening celebrating the life, music, and enduring legacy of Jimmy Heath, the legendary saxophonist, composer, arranger, and NEA Jazz Master whose remarkable career spanned more than seven decades.
