| Pianist Tim Ray Delivers Two Sets of His Latest Music The next Centre Street Session as part of August's AHA Night on Thursday, August 13 will feature two sets by the Tim Ray Trio (5:30p and 7:15p, and streaming thereafter at AHA New Bedford's Facebook page) with Dave Zinno on bass and Mark Walker on drums. Until the pandemic shut live music down, Tim was touring as music director and pianist for Tony Bennett, and his recent CD with Terri Lyne Carrington and John Patitucci made the top 10 in the JazzWeek National Radio Chart. For over 20 years, the city of New Bedford, MA has celebrated the second Thursday of every month as AHA (Art, History, Architecture) Night, and provided many events in the downtown area, including special activities for children, and always for no charge. Centre Street Sessions usually take place in the Summer months of June through September outside, in the parking lot of Fiber Optic Center, in the heart of the Historic District and within the Whaling Heritage Historical National Park. Sponsored by AHA, Fiber Optic Center and Whaling City Sound these concerts have showcased many performers and enabled people to enjoy world class music in a relaxed, informal and acoustically comfortable setting. This performance was recorded earlier in July in the chapel of the renovated Steeple Playhouse new home of the 70+ year old Your Theatre and formerly the First Baptist Church. Renovation is being overseen and supported by the non-profit Waterfront Historic Area League (WHALE, www.waterfrontleague.org). Professional quality audio, as well as video, was done by John Farrell of Middlehouse Sound. For the last 8 years, Your Theatre has also produced the widely acclaimed New Bedford JazzFest, held on the waterfront near downtown, and surrounded by New Bedford's record setting fishing fleet. All AHA events are free to the public; contributions to AHA are greatly appreciated. Set 1 is at 5:30 and Set 2 is at 7:15. The videos will be available for viewing on the AHA New Bedford website in the coming weeks. The program: Set 1 - Mohave (A.C. Jobim) - The One Step (C. Corea) - Her First Waltz (Jay Azzolina) - You and the Night and The Music (Dietz/Schwartz) - Fotographia (A.C. Jobim) - Michelle (Lennon/McCartney) arranged by Tim Ray Set 2 - Bye-Ya (Monk) - The Summer Knows (M. LeGrande) - Mandeville (Paul Motian) - Quartet #2 Part 2 (C.
