Music Triple Play
The Suffolk Theater in Riverhead has disco, Rush, and Taylor Dayne this weekend, starting tomorrow evening at 8 with a dance party with Gimme Gimme Disco. The theater will clear out its tables and chairs for the first time so guests have plenty of room to dance to hits by the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Cher, and many others.

Only a handful of tables remain for Sunday's 7 p.m. performance by Taylor Dayne, an American Music Award winner and a three-time Grammy nominee. With a repertoire that spans pop, R&B, dance, and rock, Ms. Dayne has sold over 75 million albums and singles worldwide. Tickets range from $79 to $99.

Gypsy Jazz on the Rock
Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt invented the gypsy jazz sound in France in the 1930s. It has been described by New York's Arthur's Tavern as "a type of jazz music where improvised melody lines, usually played on the guitar or violin, are backed by an acoustic guitar that provides the distinctive, quick swing rhythm."

Thanks to the Shelter Island Friends of Music, Tim Kliphuis, a violinist, and Jimmy Grant, a guitarist, will recreate the gypsy jazz sounds of Grappelli and Reinhardt, as well as music from Bach and Paganini, on Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Shelter Island Presbyterian church.

Donations to the free performance will be welcomed.
 

A Renewed Focus on Fresh Fish

Dock to Dish, a restaurant-supported fishery cooperative founded in Montauk in 2012, has new owners and a renewed focus on getting fresh-from-the-boat seafood directly into the kitchens of restaurants across the East End and the New York area. And the fact that most of the owners are also fishermen doesn’t hurt.
