Mother's Day Brunch @ The Press Room
Celebrate Mother’s Day with a soulful, swinging jazz brunch led by trombonist, composer, and bandleader Al Cron. Come for great jazz and food and bring along family and friends.
A longtime force on the New England jazz scene, Al Cron blends hard-swinging grooves, classic standards, and original music drawn from his recent digital releases The Prowl and Circles and Roots. Rooted in the sound of the Blue Note era but alive with modern energy, his music moves effortlessly from laid-back ballads to toe-tapping burners—perfect for a relaxed Sunday morning with family and friends.
Treat Mom, your friends, and yourself to great food, great company, and live jazz that feels timeless, vibrant, and full of heart.
Plan to come early to place your food and drink orders. A selection of brunch and lunch items will be available for purchase during both shows.
