Jazz Trio To Perform At 'Jersey Jazz' Concert In Madison

MADISON, NJ — Jazz fans, rejoice.

The Adrian Cunningham Trio, with pianist Alberto Pibiri and bassist Jim Robertson, will perform selections from the Lerner & Loewe album on Aug. 28 at the New Jersey Jazz Society's Jersey Jazz Live! concert.

The concert will take place at the Madison Community Arts Center at 3 p.m. and will include songs like "I Could Have Danced All Night (My Fair Lady)," "If Ever I Should Leave You" (Camelot), and "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" (Gigi)

Cunningham's trio frequently performs at Shanghai Jazz in Madison and also at the Rum House in New York's Edison Hotel. The trio spent much of the summer in Europe, including a special July performance at La Caveau de la Huchette, a famous jazz club in Paris's Latin Quarter that was briefly featured in the film La La Land.

Cunningham recently released an album with his other band, Professor Cunningham and His Old School. "It's a gospel album in jazz," Cunningham explained, adding, "we'll definitely do some of those at the August concert."

Cunningham moved to New York City from Australia in 2008, and since then he has performed at venues such as the Blue Note, Smalls, and Birdland, as well as with jazz musicians such as trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, and pianist Ted Rosenthal.

The Madison Community Arts Center is located at 10 Kings Road in Madison. Admission to this event will be $10 for New Jersey Jazz Society members and $15 for non-members, payable at the door with cash or credit card.

There will be light refreshments available for purchase, officials said. Proof of vaccination is required to enter the event, but masks will remain optional.
