Guests were treated to a performance by one of jazz’s bright young talents, local pianist and composer Joe Block and his Jazz Quintet. Block performed at the Fall Frolic for the first time in 2023, and the then 24-year-old musician already had an impressive resume to his name. After winning the Essentially Ellington composition contest in 2016, he went on to a dual-degree program at Columbia and Julliard, and to performances with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and appearances at revered festivals such as the Monterey Jazz Festival. Since then his credits include work on Broadway, a film score, and two albums slated for release this year.
