After the War, musicians like Django Reinhardt, Sidney Bechet, and Josephine Baker became the toasts of France.  Peter and Will Anderson and their Quintet will tell the story and celebrate the music in performances that evoke the joyful spirit of those smoky Parisian jazz cafes.

Twins Peter and Will Anderson have played with Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon, Jimmy Heath, Michael Feinstein, and the Village Vanguard Orchestra.  The New York Times called them "Virtuosos on clarinet and saxophone," the New York Post praised their "Toe-tapping heart-lifting jazz," and Backstage hailed them as "Delightful, dazzling, and infectious".  Quincy Jones told them, "You dudes are the future!  You all have made my soul smile, and you made a 78 year old ex-be-bopper smile like a fox eatin' sauerkraut."  "Le Jazz Hot: How the French Saved Jazz" has just completed a triumphant month long run that broke box office records at the 59 E 59 Theater.

And this is an amazing bargain.  If you went to 59 E 59 to hear these performers, you'd have paid $35 just for the music--if you had a couple of drinks at the show and went to dinner nearby as well, you would have ended up spending way over $100 per person for the evening with taxes and tips on top.  We're offering a reception with wine, light hors d'oeuvres, and cheeses, followed by an elegant and mouthwatering sit-down dinner with wine, prepared by the DTA's superb Chef Anthony LoCastro, followed by some of the most glorious music you'll ever hear, followed by a scrumptious buffet of desserts and coffee or tea--and all for just $83 complete if you're a Full Member!  This will be an amazing night out for a fraction of what it would cost at a commercial venue.

And all of this in the stunning 1887 landmark surroundings of the beautiful and friendly Down Town Association and surrounded by some of the nicest people in New York!  What an irresistible way to warm up a March evening!

The Down Town Association is easy to reach at 60 Pine Street.  Just take the #2 or #3 train to the Wall Street Station, and leave by the Pine Street exit. You'll be across the street from the Down Town Association.
    
Or you can take the #4 or #5 train to the Wall Street station. Walk three blocks east on Wall Street to William Street. Turn left on William Street and walk one block to Pine. Then turn right on Pine Street.  60 Pine Street is on the left side of the street.  (It's simpler than it sounds!)
