Wednesday, 11/19/2025, 10pm - Judy Carmichael's Jazz Inspired

I first experienced the artistry of ballet dancer/choreographer, Tom Gold at the premiere of his French Cinema-inspired piece, Le Voyage in April 2025 in Manhattan.  Although Tom was a twenty-one-year member of New York City Ballet and the founder/director of his own company since 2008, I was new to his work.  Imagine my delight when the music accompanying the dancing was jazz performed by vocalist Olivia Chindamo, pianist Matthew Sheens with bassist Marty Jaffe. 

Tom Gold is a life-long jazz lover and feels the improvisational aspect and rhythmic feel of jazz have always touched something deep inside him and influenced his approach to dance and life.
