Mother's Day Jazz Brunch With the Al Cron Quartet (10:45AM)

Mother's Day Jazz Brunch With the Al Cron Quartet (10:45AM)

Note: Two Brunch Shows will be Offered:
10:45 AM (doors open 10 AM) & 1:15 PM (doors open 12:30 PM)

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a swinging, entertaining jazz brunch led by the prominent Al Cron Quartet. Bring along your family and friends for great jazz and a delicious selection of brunch items.

A longtime force on the New England jazz scene, trombonist Al Cron blends hard-swinging grooves, classic standards, and original music drawn from his recent digital releases "The Prowl" and "Circles and Roots". Rooted in the sound of the Blue Note era but alive with modern energy, his music moves effortlessly from laid-back ballads to toe-tapping burners—perfect for a relaxed Sunday morning with family and friends.

Joining Cron is a powerhouse band featuring the dynamic Brooke Sofferman on drums, soulful John Piazza Jr. on trumpet and vocals, and the always amazing Bruce Gertz on bass.

Treat Mom, your friends, and yourself to great food, great company, and live jazz that feels timeless, vibrant, and full of heart. Plan to come early to place your food and drink orders. A selection of brunch and lunch items will be available for purchase during both shows.

This show is offered in partnership with the Seacoast Jazz Society
