Jazz at the Bickford Theatre: Bix Beiderbecke's Birthday

WHEN: Monday, March 13, 2017: 8PM-9:30PM
WHERE:
The Morris Museum’s Bickford Theatre is located at 6 Normandy Heights Road in Morristown
TICKETS:  $17 in advance and $20 at the door and may be purchased online at morrismuseum.org, by phone at (973) 971-3706, or in person at the Bickford Theatre Box Office.

The legendary jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke will be celebrated by cornetist Mike Davis and his all-star group, the New Wonders, with the Bickford Theatre’s annual Bix Beiderbecke Birthday Bash on Monday, March 13, at 8:00 p.m. co-sponsored by the New Jersey Jazz Society.  Joining Davis will be Dan Levinson on clarinet, Joe McDonough on trombone, Jared Engel on banjo, Dalton Ridenhour on piano, Jay Rattman on bass saxophone, and Jay Lepley on drums.

A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, Mike Davis is in the vanguard of young musicians bringing traditional jazz to prominence in the New York music scene. The Wall Street Journal called him an “eloquent trumpet prodigy,” and he is much in demand for his ability to capture the sounds of those great musicians of the Jazz Age. His New Wonders Band takes its name from the model of cornet played by Bix and has been called an “unexpected delight” by The New York Times. The band provides a link back to the exciting 1920s when jazz swept a war-weary world.

The Morris Museum’s Bickford Theatre is located at 6 Normandy Heights Road in Morristown, NJ, and offers free parking and full accessibility. Box office hours for phone sales are Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Walk-up hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
