The First of February!


Waterfront’s been chilling out under the hot stage lights of Wallingford’s new venue for music and fine Italian fare – the Cherry Street Restaurant. It’s a great space with plenty of room to dance, plenty of big sociable tables for dining, and some of our favorite local bartenders!

Stay tuned for announcements about February and March gigs at Cherry Street. In the studio, we’ve been looking at our live recordings made by a local sound reinforcement engineer and recording studio owner Aaron Stone . It’s been fun for us to listen to the cheers of all our friends and new fans getting loose on the dance floor-- you folks really make the show!

A CD of our live stuff should be available this Spring! We’re still putting together more new material for playing out this Spring—picking out new songs and getting them ready to take to the stage. We love this music so much!

This is one of our favorite things to do. Come to think of it, we’d love to hear what you would like to hear… why not drop us an email with a few requests? Who knows, we might just break out your request at the next show! Groundhog Day has come and gone, and regardless of what he might see, Spring is fast approaching. Pretty soon we’ll be getting back outdoors to enjoy the sounds of jazz on the warm spring air!

See you all there!

Para a sua vida sempre estar em ritmo,

Waterfront Jazz Blog First Post!



The Waterfront Jazz Project's Blog is now open! Below, you can find out mission and general information, but you can also explore our site at this link. Check out a little more info about us and our mission statement below.

All creativity depends on improvisation and playing the interrelationship of our biology, biography, environment and circumstance, the same determinants upon which our lives depend. Some express this fact in what they do, raising a family, working with their hands, and of course artistry as it flourishes in so many media now a days. Musicians have that special gift to express this fact in sound.

The Waterfront Jazz Project was formed to explore musical improvisation superimposed upon the songbook not just from one America but from North America and South America.

We are committed to finding those subtle resonances, those time signatures that evoke a special mood for the lover, the creator the spirit and the soul in us. We think that our life experience bears greatly on the sounds you hear coming from WJP’s fine musicians.
