    About This Event

    Saxophonist and producer Richie Cannata, known for his years with Billy Joel and for founding Cove City Sound Studios, leads a weekly Monday Night Jam at The Bitter End. The session brings rotating players through a loose set of standards, blues and rock, favoring groove and ensemble interplay over individual display and reflecting Cannata’s sideman-informed, working-band approach.
