Honoring Elvin Jones
The summer concerts at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill held in collaboration with Hamptons Jazz Fest will conclude with the Lighthouse Project's tribute to the renowned drummer Elvin Jones, on Friday at 6 p.m. on the museum's terrace.
The Lighthouse Project brings a rhythmic and chromatic approach to the "swing jazz" Jones redefined in collaboration with John Coltrane. Featuring Adam Nussbaum on drums, Gene Perla on bass, and Jerry Bergonzie and Nicole Glover on saxophone, the group resurrects the repertoire Mr. Perla and the saxophonist David Liebman played with Jones in the early 1970s.
Tickets are $15, $5 for members and students. The museum does not provide seating.

It is far from Ms. Allen's first appearance with the Friends of Music. Forty-six years ago, she and her father formed the group, with Dorothy Zabriskie and Dorothy Seiberling, to deliver classical music of high quality to Island residents for free.
