Annual Woody Shapiro Concert | The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra

Sunday, September 17, 2023 @ 4:00pm



William Paterson University - Shea Center for Performing Arts
300 Pompton Rd, Wayne, NJ 07470

The iconic 17-piece Vanguard Jazz Orchestra makes a rare appearance away from home at the famed Village Vanguard, where they have performed on Monday nights for an amazing 54 years. Originally led by the Thad Jones—the great trumpeter/arranger and WP’s inaugural director of jazz studies—and the drummer Mel Lewis, the ensemble continues to feature that music as a central part of their repertoire to this day. We can trust that the VJO will bring some special musical rarities as they make their high-powered return to the Jazz Room stage, featuring many of the band’s great soloists.

Each Jazz Room concert is preceded by Sittin’ In Meet-the-Artist session in Shea 101 Recital Hall one hour prior to performances. Sittin’ In is free to all ticket holders. This gives audience members the rare opportunity to meet and interact with the artist of the day in an intimate setting.

Admission: $15 General Public • $12 WP community & senior citizens • $8 Non-WP students • WP Students admitted free with ID • $5 additional charge on show day per ticket.
