Hitting the Low Notes, featuring composer Joseph Daley’s 7 Deadly Sins

April 30, 2025 at 6pm

Riverfront Library Auditorium, Yonkers, NY 10701Free admission

Hitting The Low Notes, celebrates instruments from the lower end of the sonic spectrum, some not often seen in a jazz band. For this performance, the 17-member Library Jazz Band will be joined by two French horns, tuba, bass saxophone, and expanded trumpet and percussion sections.

For the first time, the ensemble welcomes a guest conductor. The 75-year-old jazz elder Joseph Daley will lead the ensemble as they perform his seminal composition, The Seven Deadly Sins, a seven-movement piece based on the paintings of contemporary painter/musician Wade Schuman.

Rounding out the program will be classics old and new by Jaco Pastorius, Charles Mingus, Thad Jones, and Frank Foster/the Count Basie Orchestra.
