Flutist Mike Finegold

The Essex Jazz Ensemble will present an afternoon of Third Stream Music on Sunday, November 16, at 2 p.m. in the David Hartleb Technology Center at Northern Essex Community College, 100 Elliott Street, on the Haverhill campus.

This event is open to the public. Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 for seniors, $5 for students and free for NECC students with college ID. Tickets can be purchased at the door.

Third Stream Music is defined as musical genre that is a synthesis of classical music and jazz. Improvisation—a key element of jazz, but far less common in classical music—is generally seen as a vital component of Third Stream jazz.

The afternoon of classical and jazz interpretations will include renowned classical composer and jazz pianist William Thomas McKinley, bassist Bruce Gertz, drummer Austin McMahon, flutist/composer Michael Finegold, and composer/jazz pianist Marc Rossi noted for his Indian influence Western-style music compositions.
