A pillar of Caffè Lena’s jazz programming\, Lamb brings fresh energy\, deep musicality\, and an open-hearted spirit to every performance. \n \nWhile the month of May brings us flowers\, Chuck brings us Jazz/blues Harmonica player Rob Paparozzi. \n \nIn the early 1970s\, Rob Paparozzi fronted the Psychotic Blues Band\, a blues rock group which played extensively in the New Jersey area\, opening several times for Bruce Springsteen. He has toured with Dolly Parton\, George Jones\, and has contributed to works by Whitney Houston\, Judy Collins\, Cyndi Lauper and Bobby McFerrin\, among others. He is a former member of The Original Blues Brothers Band and is the singer for the reformed Blood Sweat and Tears. When not touring with Blood Sweat and Tears\, Paparozzi leads his own band\, the Hudson River Rats\, which sometimes featured the late famed funk drummer Bernard Purdie. \n \nFun fact: Paparozzi served as one of two harmonica coaches for actor Timothée Chalamet for his Golden Globe nominated performance as Bob Dylan in the 2024 film\, A Complete Unknown. \n \nSample Song \n \nEach installment of the Jazz at Caffè Lena series brings together top-tier musicians for a one-of-a-kind collaboration. \n \nChuck Lamb has been the pianist with the renowned Brubeck Brothers Quartet since 2002 and is known for his passionate\, expressive style. In addition to his jazz credentials\, he’s a prolific composer whose work spans jazz\, fusion\, classical\, and world music. His performances are electrifying\, moving seamlessly between lyricism and explosive improvisation. \n \nFounded with the vision and support of the late GRAMMY and Oscar-winning producer Joel Moss\, Jazz at Caffè Lena has grown into a regional destination for adventurous\, forward-thinking jazz. \n \nWhether you’re a longtime jazz aficionado or a newcomer to the scene\, this night of music will surprise\, delight\, and leave you wanting more. \n \nDon’t miss your chance to witness spontaneous magic\, live and in the moment. \n \n  \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
