Hard Bop and Hip-Hop RESCHEDULED

The New Jazz Underground, whose music blends traditional jazz with swing, hip-hop, house/Afro-beat, and Afro-Cuban music, will perform a free concert at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs on Sunday at 5 p.m. The concert, originally set for Saturday, was postponed due to the storm forecast.

As Lars Gotrich said on NPR, “YouTube is how most folks first found New Jazz Underground, but there’s little of the flash or bombast that you might find with similar acts — these Juilliard-trained musicians clearly know the jazz tradition, but push at the corners of hard bop and hip-hop. Classy and classic.”

The band members are Eric (ELEW) on piano, Sebastian Rios on bass/compositions, and TJ Reddick on drums. The program was organized by Kassa Overall, a Duck Creek alumnus.

A Rose in Springs RESCHEDULED

Reilly Rose, an East End-raised musician based in New York City, will be at the Leiber Collection in Springs on Sept. 21 at 5 p.m.. with “Secrets Secrets,” which the venue describes as “a journey through our most coveted thoughts and dreams through original music and storytelling.” The performance, originally scheduled for Saturday, was postponed because of the storm forecast.

Ms. Rose’s sound is rooted in pensive and witty lyrics, accompanied by melodic piano underscoring. Her recent shows have been held at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, and the Delancey and the Bowery Electric in Lower Manhattan.

Insiders’ Tour

Insiders View 2024, the Southampton History Museum’s annual tour of Southampton houses, will happen on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. The houses will not be listed in advance for the privacy of the homeowners, but all are close to Southampton Village.

A map of the self-guided tour will be given to ticketholders when they pick up their tickets. General admission tickets are $150. Those priced at $500 and up include a post-tour cocktail party at the Rogers Mansion, sponsored by Sant Ambroeus.

Wild Beauty

Darrel Morrison, a renowned landscape architect, is up next in the lecture series of the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons, to be held at the Bridgehampton Community House on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Mr. Morrison, who has created designs for Storm King Art Center, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, will talk about people and landscapes that have influenced him during a career of landscape design inspired by nature.

He will illustrate his talk with photos of naturally evolving landscapes, as well as designed landscapes inspired by nature that exhibit many of the same qualities —  among them mystery, complexity, coherence, and legibility.

Tickets are $10, free for alliance members.

Open Call at Bay Street

Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater has announced that an Equity Principal Audition for its Literature Live! production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” will be held at the theater on Monday from 9:30 to 5:30, with a lunch break between 1 and 2.

Rehearsals will begin Oct. 24, and performances will start on Nov. 11. Because housing will not be provided, actors who live within 50 miles of Sag Harbor have been especially urged to attend.

Detailed information, including the parts to be cast, can be found at baystreet.org/page/asnd-epa.

This article has been changed from its original and print versions to reflect the postponement of the concert at the Arts Center at Duck Creek from Saturday to Sunday.
