GA Russell Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Posted February 18, 2021 Live Performance (and Streaming) in Nyack this Friday! Dear friends, It's been a difficult year for most of us, some more than others. Personally speaking, I cannot imagine anything more healing than playing on the beautiful Steinway grand piano at Maureen's Jazz Cellar with the great bassist Harvie S and the great drummer Billy Mintz. Early in the fall, before it became too cold to open all the windows, Harvie, Billy and I recorded several of our original compositions at (Billy's and my) home. We will be playing this all original music in one set at 8pm, Friday, February 19th. Reservations are recommended. (There is limited seating in order to keep everyone safe.) If you are not comfortable showing up in person, you can also stream the performance on the club's Facebook page. Piket – S – Mintz Friday, February 19 One set at 8:00pm Maureen’s Jazz Cellar 2 North Broadway Nyack, NY Phone for reservations: (845) 535-3143 This is a live IN PERSON performance. (It can also be streamed on the venue’s Facebook page. For reservations call 845-535-3143.

GA Russell Posted July 6, 2023 Author Report Posted July 6, 2023 Billy Mintz Quartet New England Tour August 12th - 15th, 2023 Billy Mintz Quartet Tony Malaby - tenor saxophone Roberta Piket - piano Don Falzone - bass Billy Mintz - drums, compositions 8/12/2023 3pm two sets Warren House of Pizza 464 Main St. Warren, RI 8/13/2023 5pm one show The Dance Hall 7 Walker St. Kittery, ME 8/15/2023 7:30pm two sets Lily Pad 1353 Cambridge St. Cambridge, MA “The leader walks alone and, like Paul Motian, he’s got a great way of drifting through the waves while steering the ship.” - Jim Macnie, Village Voice “If you are a fan of modern jazz drumming but have not heard Billy Mintz, you have not heard it all.” – Tom Conrad, JazzTimes A veteran of both the LA and New York jazz scenes, sought-after drummer Billy Mintz is that rare breed of jazz musician who is as comfortable playing standards in a piano trio as he is performing in the creative music scene. Mintz's engaging compositions, ranging from stunningly melodic to rhythmically playful, reflect a mature and deeply gifted artist who has quietly been working on his craft. He is joined by three of New York’s most respected musicians, his long-time colleagues Tony Malaby (tenor sax), Roberta Piket (piano) and Don Falzone (bass). The quartet makes three rare New England appearances. Billy and Roberta Teaneck NJ 07666 u Quote
