MADISON – The New Jersey Jazz Society (NJJS) invites the public to join its “Jazz Social,” starring vocalist Giacomo Gates, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. this Sunday, Nov. 17, at Shanghai Jazz at 24 Main St. in Madison.

More than a singer, Gates is an entertainer whose audiences enjoy his music, interaction with his musicians, his spontaneity and humor, and his stories about the music and composers.

Gates has released six critically acclaimed CDs, with his most recent, “Miles Tones - Giacomo Gates Sings The Music of Miles Davis,” garnering rave reviews and topping the National Jazz Radio Playlist at No. 1 for four weeks. His preceding CD, “The Revolution Will Be Jazz: The Songs of Gil Scott-Heron,” was No. 1 on the NJR Playlist. Both CDs spent over three months in the top 20 of the Jazz Week charts on more than 300 stations.

Chat With Artist
Sunday’s performance will feature two sets and a chat with the artist, plus opportunities for free tickets for upcoming concerts.

There is no cover charge for NJJS members, and a $10 cover charge for non-members, with a $10 food/beverage minimum per person.
