The Arts Council of Princeton Presents Jesse Fischer's CD Release Concert, Day Dreamer

Jazz pianist/composer Jesse Fischer will perform a CD Release Concert on Friday, Sept. 18 at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts at 8 p.m.

The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) welcomes Brooklyn-based Jesse Fischer back to the Solley Theater on Friday, Sept. 18, 8 pm. at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street, Princeton NJ 08542.

For Jesse, who was born and raised in Princeton, the simplest things are best — a catchy melody, a heartfelt lyric, an irrepressible groove. Jesse maintains his direct, less-is-more approach, with an emphasis on emotion and storytelling. ACP’s intimate Solley Theater at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts is the ideal venue for the preview of Jesse’s new CD, Day Dreamer, which fuses jazz, soul, and singer-songwriter sounds.

Tickets are available at the door 30 minutes before showtime, beginning at at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 for ACP members/students/seniors and $12 General Admission. Parking is available in the Spring and Hulfish Street Garages and at metered parking spots along Witherspoon Street and Paul Robeson Place.
