Step right into Hamden’s very own monthly jazz club…
Please join BVFCC and host Allen Lowe for our new monthly jazz night with Allen Lowe & The All-Stars. There will be a coterie of musical guests assembled by our host each month in a relaxed setting with tables and chairs to truly sit back, relax, and enjoy the great vibe. Of course, the BVCoffee Bar will be open for beer, wine, and café drinks. Cover charge is $10.

“Allen Lowe is the tradition; he is one of the few musicians doing anything new today.” -Anthony Braxton
“ Allen Lowe is a genius! His work is always full of wonder, the excitement of discovery, and humor…the best work has always been done at the margins, by the so-called underground - Poe, Whitman, Monk, Harvey Pekar, Herbie Nichols, James Joyce, Sun Ra - but it's still a surprise and a revelation whenever you find it." -John Szwed, Columbia University Jazz Studies
