SUMMARY:Noa Fort Quartet
DESCRIPTION:TWO Shows – 7:00 & 9:00 PM – (860) 346-2000 \nIsraeli born\, Brooklyn based vocalist\, pianist\, composer\, and music therapist Noa Fort is blurring the lines between written and composed\, group and individual\, inner and outer soundscape\, giving and receiving; all on the path to healing\, with music. After a short stint as a biologist\, researching bird migration in the desert\, Fort decided to go back to her first love\, music and pursued a degree in Music Performance (first for voice\, then for piano) at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. She became involved in the music scene in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem\, leading a Jazz quintet as well as working as a side woman for several bands and projects. She also started volunteering with teenagers with special needs\, and slowly realized what she’d always known – that music can be used for more than self-expression; it can be used to create a connection where words fail\, a path to healing\, and a terrain to explore the self in relation to others. \n

SUMMARY:Joe Alterman Trio
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoe Alterman Trio\n \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a special night of jazz with pianist Joe Alterman and his Trio! \n\n\n\n\n\nBy The Side Door Jazz Club \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, May 30 · 8 – 10:30pm EDT. Doors at 7:15pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Side Door \n85 Lyme St Old Lyme\, CT 06371 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefund Policy\n\nNo Refunds\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nEvent lasts 2 hours 30 minutes\nALL AGES\n\n  \n\nFree venue parking\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJOE ALTERMAN is an Atlanta-born jazz pianist\, composer\, writer\, and cultural curator who channels the timeless joy of swing with youthful energy and heartfelt enthusiasm.\nPraised by legends like Ahmad Jamal as “a very special artist\,” Les McCann as “tiny but only in stature; as a man and musician\, he is already a giant\,” and Ramsey Lewis as “an inspiration” whose playing is “a joy to behold\,” Alterman has carved out a singular space in the jazz world. \nA graduate of New York University with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Jazz Piano Performance\, Alterman has performed at iconic venues including the Kennedy Center\, Lincoln Center\, Birdland\, and Blue Note\, sharing stages with jazz greats like Houston Person\, Les McCann\, and Ramsey Lewis. He also had the privilege of opening for Dick Gregory at the Kennedy Center\, where the legendary comedian introduced him with a knowing smile and the line: “See? Integration works!” \nWhether leading his trio or captivating audiences solo\, Alterman’s music has been described by Downbeat Magazine as “hard-swinging” and by the late journalist Nat Hentoff as “making people smile and\, if the room is right\, dance.” With a deep groove\, bluesy touch\, and an exuberance that’s hard to resist\, his playing is both deeply rooted and refreshingly modern. His ability to keep the spirit of swing alive has earned admiration from jazz masters. As Monty Alexander put it\, “Joe Alterman is doing his part to keep alive the art of the swinging trio. He is a wonderful pianist whose playing brings smiles and good feelings to his listeners.” Similarly\, Benny Green calls Alterman “absolutely one of the most musically enjoyable\, swingingest jazz pianists who can be heard playing today.” \nWith eight critically acclaimed albums to his name\, including the 2023 release Joe Alterman Plays Les McCann: Big Mo & Little Joe\, Alterman continues to evolve as a recording artist while honoring jazz’s deep traditions. His swinging style and infectious enthusiasm have made him a favorite among both jazz devotees and casual listeners. As George Benson once told him\, “You play good and you sound good\, and there’s a difference.” That difference—the ability to channel joy\, soul\, and deep connection through every note—is what sets Alterman apart. \nAs Dick Cavett aptly said\, “Joe Alterman combines outstanding musical technique with infectious enthusiasm for his work. He fills a room with joy.” \nBeyond the piano\, Alterman’s creative reach extends into cultural leadership and writing. As the Executive Director of Neranenah\, an Atlanta-based Concert & Culture series\, he celebrates Jewish contributions to music and the arts. His writing has also garnered acclaim—he has penned liner notes for three Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra albums and was the subject of Nat Hentoff’s final piece on music\, in which the legendary journalist described Alterman’s essays as “some of the very best on the essence and spirit of jazz.” In 2025\, Alterman’s musicianship was further recognized when he was featured on President Jimmy Carter’s Grammy-winning album\, Last Sundays In Plains: A Centennial Celebration\, marking another milestone in his ever-expanding artistic journey. \nWhether performing on world-renowned stages\, leading cultural initiatives\, or writing about the music he loves\, Joe Alterman bridges the past and present of jazz\, delivering music that\, as Ramsey Lewis put it\, is “happy music with tasty meat on the bones.” \n\n\n\n\n\n
