Live jazz is coming back to the Flushing Town Hall.

The venue will be holding its popular monthly jazz concerts—in person—starting September at the historic 137-35 Northern Blvd. building.

The monthly concerts, officially called the Louis Armstrong Legacy Monthly Jazz Jam, will resume Wednesday, Sept. 8 at 7:00 p.m. The event had been held each month—virtually—during the pandemic.

“On behalf of Flushing Town Hall and the Jazz Jam’s house band and production team, let me say how utterly thrilled we are to see everyone return for a live, in-person jam,” said Flushing Town Hall’s Director of Education & Public Programs, Gabrielle M. Hamilton. “Over the last 17 months as musicians joined us online, we heard some amazing jazz from across the globe, including six of the seven continents, but now it is time to jam again in person!”

Since the concerts went virtual in March 2020, more than 200 musicians from over a dozen countries—from as far away as New Zealand, Italy and South Africa—have participated in the monthly jams.

Over 7,000 viewers from across the globe have tuned in to the monthly concerts to listen as the venue moved its programming online.

Starting Sept. 8, the monthly jazz jams will be performed live from Flushing Town Hall, just like in pre-pandemic times, with participating musicians and an audience of jazz lovers attending in person.

For those unable to attend, virtual audiences from across the globe can still join the livestream and tune in for free via Flushing Town Hall’s Facebook page.

In adherence with New York City’s COVID-19 policy, all visitors, performers and staff will be required to show proof of vaccination. Masks must also be worn at all times.

Attendance to jazz jam is $10, although it is free for students, teens, members and participating musicians.

Brunch, or at least breakfast, is a fairly common offering across New York City restaurants. And these morning meals often follow basic rules and menus with fairly similar offerings such as eggs, traditional omelets and maybe a Mimosa. When it comes to good food and, in particular, brunches that depart from the usual, Kantu really can do.

Rego Park sex offender pleads guilty to charges of sexually exploiting young girls on Long Island: Feds

A convicted sex offender from Rego Park pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child and admitted to soliciting and receiving sexually explicit images and videos from four young girls during a plea hearing in the federal courthouse in Central Islip on Friday. Anthony Pangallo, 41, faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years’ imprisonment and up to 50 years in prison.

According to court filings and statements during the plea proceeding, Pangallo was initially arrested on May 20, 2021, at his Rego Park residence, on state charges filed in Westport, Connecticut. Those charges, which remain pending, involved a 15-year-old victim whom Pangallo met online and manipulated into sending him sexually explicit images of herself.
