Flûte Champagne Bar Lovers

Dear Fluters,

Please join Teri Roiger and John Menegon for an intimate evening of jazz standards in NYC's oldest speakeasy.
An American jazz musician, vocalist, pianist, songwriter, educator, and producer, Teri lives in New York City and also spends time in New York’s Hudson Valley. She began playing piano at age 5, and played church organ throughout her teens. When she discovered jazz in her early 20s – and soon after made her first demo with the legendary stride pianist, Butch Thompson – her musical path was set.
Teri has performed throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe, and has been a featured artist at the San Miguel Jazz Festival, Panama Jazz Festival, and Bolzano Jazz Festival. The depth of her experiences and love of jazz is apparent when she brings all of her talents to bear in her live performances, the recording studio, and through her moving lyrics and compositions.
Teri and John composed and scored the music for the documentary film BEYOND ICONIC (2011) about the renowned photographer Dennis Stock. Directed by Hanna Sawka, this acclaimed film premiered at festivals all over the world, and was one of the top ten finalists at the Sao Paulo Film Festival. In 2011 Roiger and Menegon formed a new production company called JAZZSTOCK, which has been very successful in presenting world-renowned jazz artists in Woodstock and throughout the Hudson Valley and continues to this day.

See you there!
