Riverhead - The "Live at the Indigo" jazz series continues with an appearance by world renowned tenor sax man Jerry Weldon. Fresh off a tour with the legendary Harry Connick, Jr., Weldon is landing on Tuesday and heading east to Hotel Indigo for a Thursday gig on April 14.

Along with an association with Connick that dates back to 1990, Weldon was a member of the Lionel Hampton Orchestra in the 1980s and continued his association as one of Hamp's favorite tenor soloists through the '90s and into the new millennium. Next came a long and rewarding tour of duty as a member of master organist Jack McDuff & his Heatin' System, resulting in many fine recordings on the Concord label.

The '90s also found Jerry in another long and fruitful musical association with the New York Hard Bop Quintet. The unit toured throughout the U.S. and Europe while recording four stellar albums for the Swiss TCB label.

Besides fronting his own bands, over his long and noted career Weldon has worked and recorded with organists Jimmy McGriff, Joey DeFrancesco, Bobby Forrester, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Mel Rhyne, trombone great Al Grey, piano giants George Cables and Cedar Walton, drum legends Roy Haynes and Jimmy Cobb as well as guitarist/singer George Benson, guitarist Earl Klugh, bassist Keter Bettsand singer Mel Tormé.

Weldon will be appearing with his jazz organ trio at Bistro 72 in the East End's hippest boutique hotel, the Hotel Indigo off LIE Exit 72. The three set session starts at 7 p.m. There is a $10 music charge that includes a free drink and a donation to the East End Arts Council.
