Join author and historian <a target="_blank" href="https://allthingsliberty.com/author/richard-f-welch/" rel="nofollow noopener">Richard F. Welch</a> in exploring the remarkable and multifaceted Revolutionary War career of Setauket native Benjamin Tallmadge. A gifted leader of dragoons, intelligence and counter-intelligence officer, and master of combined land-and-sea operations, Tallmadge played a critical role in the Patriot war effort.

He fought at the Battles of Long Island, White Plains, and Germantown, defended Patriot civilians in Westchester from British and Loyalist raids, and—while commanding his own legion—launched daring attacks against British outposts on Long Island from bases in Connecticut. At the same time, Tallmadge managed General George Washington’s most consistently active espionage network in Long Island and New York and was instrumental in uncovering the Arnold–André plot to betray West Point.

Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum

The American Revolution sharply divided families and towns on Long Island. Washington's defeat at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776 started seven years of British occupation. Patriot sympathizers were subject to loyalty oaths, theft of property, and the quartering of soldiers in their homes. Some fought back with acts of sabotage and espionage. Dr. Joanne S. Grasso explores the story of an island at war.

East End Jazz Launches "Tiny Toes &amp; The Jazz Crew": Free Interactive Family Jazz Concert at Madoo Gardens
SAGAPONACK, NY — Non-profit organization East End Jazz presents "Tiny Toes &amp; The Jazz Crew" on Saturday, July 11th, at Madoo Gardens in Sagaponack. Offering two morning sets at 10:00 AM and 11:45 AM, this unique, multi-generational concert bridges the gap between playtime and world-class live jazz for audiences aged 1 to 99. Admission is free, with RSVP required.
The 60-minute interactive program transforms childhood favorites like "Old MacDonald" and "The Wheels on the Bus" into sophisticated, high-energy jazz arrangements, seamlessly blending nursery rhymes with 1940s bebop and the Great American Songbook. Led by bassist, bandleader, and East End Jazz Director Iris Ornig, the five-piece band of elite professional musicians gets families and jazz enthusiasts off their screens and into the rhythm section through feeling the beat, scat-singing, call-and-response patterns, and dancing.
"We wanted to create a space where the next generation doesn't just listen to music, but feels it," says Iris Ornig, Director of East End Jazz. "By pairing familiar melodies with sophisticated arrangements, we’re inviting families and jazz lovers alike to bring out their inner child and share in the spontaneous joy of this art form."
The Jazz Crew features: Lauren Lee (Vocals), Taka Otomo (Piano), John Ludlow (Saxophone), Iris Ornig (Bass), and Brian Woodruff (Drums).
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, East End Jazz strives to keep its flagship family programming free and accessible. Thanks to the support of Madoo Gardens and the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning, admission to "Tiny Toes &amp; The Jazz Crew" is FREE. While entry is free, donations are greatly appreciated to help sustain future community initiatives.
Come build a community of listeners with us—starting with the very first note!
