WESTPORT–Pianist Yaniv Taubenhouse will perform at the VFW Post 399 this Thursday, Oct. 29. 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.

Taubenhouse will be joined by Dan Montgomery on bass, Jerad Lippi on drums and Greg Wall on saxophones.

According to the release, Taubenhouse is an internationally acclaimed jazz pianist and composer based in New York City. He has performed and recorded extensively throughout the United States and abroad, earning recognition for his lyrical approach, expressive touch, and distinctive artistic voice.

A classically trained artist, his dazzling and pristine style is reminiscent of the best of Chic Corea, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau.

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

An optional $25 dinner from Chef Derek Furino will be served from 6:15 p.m., no reservations required. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are available.

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.
