The concert will begin at 4 p.m. in the Shea Center for Performing Arts on the campus. Prior to the concert, Lynch will be the guest for “Sittin’ In,” an informal discussion about jazz, at 3 p.m. in room 101 of Shea Center. Admission is free to all Jazz Room ticketholders.
Tickets are available in advance or on the day of the performance at $15 standard; $12 senior citizens, William Paterson faculty, staff and alumni; and $8 for non-William Paterson students. William Paterson students may attend free of charge.
Lynch, with experience in both post-bop and Latin jazz, is a veteran of years of tours and recordings with Horace Silver, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, and Phil Woods, and has been a first-call sideman and leader on the jazz scene for more than twenty years.
More recently he has become dedicated to the Latin jazz style, including an important, critically acclaimed collaboration with the legendary Eddie Palmieri. Lynch brings his talents as a Latin player and arranger to this exciting event.
Launched in 1978, The Jazz Room is one of the largest and most prestigious college-sponsored jazz events in the country. Performers include renowned professionals who encompass the complete spectrum of jazz, from practitioners of traditional jazz to avant-garde to bebop to swing to Afro-Latin jazz, as well as William Paterson’s own student ensembles. The series has won numerous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and more than 25 years of continuous support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts for its innovative programming.
Funding for The Jazz Room at William Paterson University has been made possible, in part, by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State.
