Gentle Jazz: An Afternoon of Music at the Fairfield Public Library

Enjoy a Sunday afternoon concert of Gentle Jazz, the creation of musician Darrell Courtley, at the Fairfield Public Library on April 19.

This musical presentation, which will take place at 3 p.m. in the Memorial Room, includes selections from “The Great American Songbook” including “Sentimental Journey,” “All of Me,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Sunny Side of the Street,” and many more.

Courtley uses a special app on his iPad as his ‘back-up band’ and usually plays clarinet, but expect some musical surprises.

Darrell Courtley is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a long-time musician in the northern New Jersey area. He developed Gentle Jazz to share with others. It is music to make your toes tap, your fingers snap and your heart smile.
