WESTPORT–Adam Nussbaum will perform at the VFW Post 399 this Thursday. The show is part of the Jazz at the Post series, which offers a new concert each Thursday, presented by the Jazz Society of Fairfield County.

Adam Nussbaum is one of the finest Jazz drummers working today. He grew up in Norwalk, just like Horace Silver and Rob Aries.

Adam won a Grammy with Michael Becker for the amazing “Don’t Try This at Home” on Impulse! records and enjoyed longtime associations with such iconic artists as John Abercrombie, Bob Berg, Michael & Randy Brecker, Eliane Elias, Gil Evans, Dave Liebman,  Stan Getz and James Moody.

He is proud of his Fairfield County roots, and his annual appearance at JATP brings out his long time fans who “knew him when…”

His band will include Rob Aries on piano, Dave Santoro on bass, James “Doc” Halliday, tenor and soprano saxes and Greg Wall on tenor and soprano saxes.

Dinner by Chef Derek Furino will be served at 6:45 p.m. The price is $25 and reservations are not required.

Musical sets begin at 7:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. The 7:30 set cover charge is $20 ($15 for students / veterans). The cover fee for the late set is $10.

The Jazz Society of Fairfield County offers “free or low-cost concerts by accomplished artists, outreach to under-served audiences, and educational and performance opportunities for student, amateur and emerging professional musicians,” its website says.

Since 2015, the organization has worked with Post 399 to bring the weekly jazz event to the post’s home on the Saugatuck River, featuring “celebrated jazz artists such as Ethan Iverson, Antonio Hart, David Kikoski, Harvie S and Joe Farnsworth as well as introducing our audience to the new generation of musicians moving the tradition forward,” the society’s website says.
