Saturday May 30th, 2026. 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM

Jazz at The Lodge - 118 Croton Ave, Ossining, NY 10562

Pat Metheny's "Bright Size Life" was Pat's first album as a leader featuring Jaco Pastorius and Bob Moses. It was unique and a first of it's kind in many ways. Guitarists and bassists in particular, consider this album to be a watershed moment in jazz guitar trio - offering a door for future musicians to walk through in pursuit of originality of voice and sound.

Jazz at The Lodge presents the Bright Size Life Project on Saturday May 30th starting at 7:30 pm. This project is a reimagining of this iconic album through the scope of the Hammond B3 organ, electric bass, and drums. Paul Connors - Hammond B3 organ, Marshall Toppo - fretless bass, Jon Doty - drums.

The program will be a performance of the entire album in its original song order for the first set.

The second set will have additional Metheny and Pastorius compositions with additional musicians.

Sunday June 7th is Summer Fest in Croton on Hudson and the Paul Connors Organ Quartet will be playing on the lawn of St. Augustine's Episcopal Church, under the big beautiful Dogwood tree. Joining Paul that afternoon will be Malin Carta on alto saxophone, Matt Dickey on guitar, and Jon Doty on Drums. The music will be jazz, funk and standards.
