Description

Talent from 34th Street Partnership’s ‘Ensembles in Residence’ program

Hit your stride with Bryant Park Piano regular Terry Waldo and his Gotham City Band. The protege of the late Eubie Blake, he has produced over 40 albums and written the definitive book on ragtime, This is Ragtime - republished recently by Jazz At Lincoln Center with a new introduction by Wynton Marsalis.

Terry Waldo's Gotham City Band performs on May 22, June 26, August 21, and September 25.

This summer-long series borrows talent from the 34th Street Partnership’s ‘Ensembles in Residence’ program, giving a variety of acts the chance to plus-up their weekly pop-up performances in Midtown’s public plazas with a Bryant Park appearance.

Enjoy premium party brass band Triad Brass, Emo-Dixieland mash-up ensemble East Village All Stars, feel-good Brazilian Forró group Trio Arrebol, and fiddle-forward folk-fusion outfit Sedi Donka, before hitting your stride with longtime Bryant Park Piano series performer Terry Waldo and his Gotham City Band.
