Jazz on the Terrace
Summer Jazz on the Terrace, presented with The Jam Session, will return to the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill with a series of five concerts in July and August, starting Friday at 6 p.m. with Joe Farnsworth, an acclaimed jazz drummer, and Sara Hanahan, a jazz saxophonist.
Mr. Farnsworth has led weekend jazz combos at Smoke Jazz and Supper Club in New York City, and performed in festivals and on tour with Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Horace Silver, Cedar Walton, and others.
Ms. Hanahan has participated in the Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program at the Kennedy Center, Jazz Aspen Snowmass, and Ravinia Steans Jazz Institute.
Tickets are $25; $15 for members, their guests, senior citizens, and students, and $5 for children.
Jazz and Rap
Kassa Overall, a Grammy-nominated musician, vocalist, M.C., producer, and drummer, is up next in the summer music series at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs, on Saturday at 5 p.m.
Mr. Overall blends avant-garde experimentation with hip-hop production techniques to move the nexus of jazz and rap in unusual directions. He will be accompanied by Tomoki Sanders, sax and background vocals; Ian Fink, keyboards, and Bendji Allonce, percussion and background vocals.
Audience members have been encouraged to bring beach chairs, blankets, and picnics to the free event.
Piano Masters at LTV
The Piano Masters Series, a project of LTV Studios and Hamptons Jazz Fest, will kick off at LTV on Monday evening with a performance by Bill O'Connell. The six programs will feature conversations with the artists, as well as music.
Over the course of his four-decade career, Mr. O'Connell has served as a leader, soloist, arranger, musical director, and accompanist for many jazz and Latin music notables. He has performed with such jazz greats as Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker, Gato Barbieri, and Charles Fambrough, and worked for two years with Mongo Santamaria's Latin jazz group.
Future programs will feature Luciano Minetti (July 17), Joe Delia (July 31), Amina Figarova (Aug. 7), Gil Goldstein (Aug. 14), and Jonathan Howe (Aug. 28). Tickets are $10. Doors open at 5:30; shows start at 6.
Soulful Vocals
The collaboration of Hamptons Jazz Fest with The Church in Sag Harbor continues next Thursday with a performance by Sarah Elizabeth Charles, a vocalist and composer, and her quintet.
Ms. Charles has performed at the White House, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Rose Theatre with Jazz at Lincoln Center, among many others. One of her commissioned compositions was performed at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.
"Ms. Charles has a soulfully articulate vocal style, a mix of strong projection and subtle detail," wrote Nate Chinen in The New York Times.
A social hour will happen from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.; the concert will follow. Tickets are $30, $25 for members, $15 for students and patrons 18 and under.
