About This Event
Jazz Casual: Marc Chillemi Quartet – Blue Note Tribute takes place at The Dance Hall, 7 Walker Street in Kittery, Maine, on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
Trumpeter Marc Chillemi, whose credits include Primo Cubano and Raging Brass, leads a tribute to Blue Note Records and the sound of 1960s jazz. The program draws inspiration from Blue Note artists and bandleaders including Horace Silver, Blue Mitchell, Lee Morgan, and Art Blakey, with arrangements and improvisation rooted in that repertoire.
Chillemi is joined by Jesse Beckett-Herbert of Future Mailmen on tenor saxophone, Clifford Cameron of Rot on the Vine and Vinyl Quartet on piano, Duane Edwards of Primo Cubano and Bess Jacques and the Strays on bass, and drummer Jan van Voorst van Beest of The Fiasco Brothers and Bess Jacques and the Strays. The appearance follows the group’s year-long residency at The Henry in Portland’s Old Port and marks its debut at The Dance Hall.
Jazz Casual presents jazz and improvised music by local, national, and international artists, including performers of original works and arrangements of traditional music.
