On Saturday, April 9, the Jazz Masters Series of Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT) will welcome a return appearance by the world-renowned Ray Blue Trio, featuring jazz artist/composer/arranger and saxophonist Ray Blue of Peekskill, a New York Blues Hall of Fame inductee who has toured extensively throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. The cabaret-style performance begins 7:30 pm at WCT’s black box performance space at 23 Water Street in Ossining. Appearing with Ray for the evening will be Dave Braham on organ/piano and drummer Alvester Garnett.

Blue has appeared at “Africa’s Grandest Gathering,” the prestigious Cape Town International Festival. His music has been described as a fusion of straight ahead jazz and rhythmic groove.

A former cast member of the Ray Charles Show which toured in Europe, his festival performances also include the Hartford Jazz Festival; European Union Annex Festival-Dublin, Ireland; Audi Jazz Festival in Brussels; and the Macao Jazz Festival in China.
