Art Lande in New York City
June 11-13, 2026
Three nights, two venues, three different groups, lots of chances to hear different musical gems and entire treasures.
Art Lande is excited about this upcoming series of performances in the New York City area with both long time friends and some newer ones as well! There's nothing better for Art than to play music with friends. It's been 2 years, so Art, Bruce and Dean will be thrilled to be back together again, and the musical spectrum broadens with each night's featured music and performers. You're encouraged to visit the websites of these excellent musicians, listen, learn, then ask your friends to do the same and make it out to a concert if you can. Which one is actually easy. I'd recommend avoiding FOMO and go to all 3.
Joining Art for these concerts: Dean Johnson, Bruce Williamson, Brain Drye, Mike McGinnis, 2026 Grammy winner Danielle Wertz, Sam Priven, Hamir Atwal.
Art Lande Trio
Art Lande (piano), Bruce Williamson (saxes/woodwinds), Dean Johnson (bass)
One set will feature new compositions from Art's winter retreat in Arizona. Another will feature Art's Unstandards — a collection of long-heard, tried and true tunes that Art has seriously reworked. They remain very recognizable but each one has just the right amount and type of Artful renovations to remain interesting and gratifying well into the future.

Art Lande Quartet Featuring Danielle Wertz
Art Lande (piano), Danielle Wertz (vocals), Sam Priven (sax), Dean Johnson (bass)
The evening will feature the fantastic music of Danielle Wertz, plus some standards that we'll play in our own special way.
Danielle Wertz is a Grammy winning vocalist, composer, and arranger whose emotionally resonant music blends jazz, folk, and contemporary classical genres. Described by DownBeat Magazine as evocative... remarkably intimate, expressive and poignant, her voice has earned her an international following and growing recognition across disciplines.
With a voice and creative vision rooted in curiosity, honesty, and sonic exploration, Danielle Wertz is quickly becoming one of the most compelling cross-genre artists of her generation.

Art Lande Sextet
Art Lande (piano), Bruce Williamson (saxes/woodwinds), Dean Johnson (bass), Brain Drye (trombone), Mike McGinnis (sax/clarinet), Hamir Atwal (drums)
Art offers two more new compositions from this year's time in Arizona. Saturday night at IBeam will feature 6 players and Art music in a style often referred to as Head Charts. Concisely put, they are written themes that establish a mood which will lead to improvisation — a wheel house for this sextet. Enjoy!
