Jazz at Rutherfurd Hall: Houston Person, Tenor Sax, with the Dave Leonhardt Trio

Sunday, October 16, 2016 -
3:00pm to 5:00pm

Jazz at Rutherfurd Hall on Sunday, October 16 will feature one of the top tenor saxophonists in the country, Houston Person, backed by the Dave Leonhardt Trio, playing tunes from America’s great composers.

The Jazz at Rutherfurd Hall series brings a variety of outstanding jazz musicians to the historic mansion in Allamuchy Township, NJ, for once-a-month concerts on Sunday afternoons September through April.

All concerts are 3 to 5 p.m. in Rutherfurd Hall, a National and New Jersey State Historic Landmark. Famed architect Whitney Warren, who also designed Grand Central Station in New York City as Warren and Wetmore Architects (1903-1911), designed the 18,000-square-foot Tudor “country home” in 1904. The renowned firm of Frederick Law Olmsted & Sons designed the landscape plan and the plantings for the site.

Now open as a cultural center and a museum owned and managed by the Allamuchy Township Board of Education, Rutherfurd Hall is an elegant and interesting venue to see and hear jazz. Plus, the ability to meet and converse with the performers makes attending these concerts special.
