"The Jazz Forum is an extraordinary addition to the village of Tarrytown. I have lived here for 29 years, and am delighted to be able to experience such wonderfully sophisticated world class music in our small town."

"We have been residents of the Rivertowns for a total of 30 years. We can honestly say that the Jazz Forum is the most exciting cultural attraction to open up in this area in the last decade. We admire Mark and Ellen so much, and are beyond grateful for their gifts of music, engagement and above all... creating community."

"I will be back again & again. I felt like I was in your home!"

"I have never left an event that I did not feel uplifted by the artistry created and shared in that cozy little space. Westchester Magazine wasn't wrong when they wrote that what Westchester needed was a real, down to earth, top flight jazz club."

"Highest accolades to the very talented and well-connected Mr. Mark Morganelli and incredible warm wife, Ellen Prior for launching the Jazz Forum Club and filling such a void and much needed "place to be" within the Westchester NY community! I look forward to telling stories to my nieces and nephews about the great musicians that graced the stage of the Jazz Forum Club."

"I will be back again & again. I felt like I was in your home!"

Jazz Forum at 1 Dixon Lane in Tarrytown, NY

On June 9th, 2017 Mark Morganelli and his wife, Ellen Prior opened the Jazz Forum as the only dedicated Jazz club in Westchester County, New York. This 90-seat weekend-only live music venue is an intimate listening room with a warm and welcoming mood, affordable ticket prices and clear sightlines from all seats. The Jazz Forum was launched with sold-out performances by the Roy Hargrove Quintet and has been presenting internationally renowned and master musicians to enthralled audiences, including “regulars” and newcomers every week since the opening. One patron commented, “There are gods among us! The talent is inspiring to see performed and heard live!”

The club presents headliner Jazz artists on Friday and Saturday nights, Brazilian groups on Sundays afternoons, top-notch Jazz groups on Sunday nights, and monthly jam sessions. With a Steinway grand piano, hand-crafted walnut bar, informal dinner and full bar menu, separate lounge and pool room, and contemporary art gallery, fans have draped the club with love.

The Jazz Forum club is a program of Jazz Forum Arts, a not-for-profit arts presenting organization based in Westchester. The club’s presenting sponsor is Montefiore Health System. Additional support is provided by Jazz Forum Charter Donors and ArtsWestchester.
