About the Artist:
Trumpeter and composer Ted Chubb has spent much of his career creating spaces where jazz can be heard up close. A longtime New York–area bandleader, educator whose playing reflects the lyrical lineage of Booker Little, Art Farmer, and Kenny Dorham, he and his wife reopened a historic Jersey City building, the Statuary — an intimate performance space where audiences sit just feet from the band. Live at The Statuary captures that atmosphere over four nights with longtime collaborators Bruce Williams, Oscar Perez, Tom DiCarlo, and Jerome Jennings.
Bound by decades of shared history, the quintet moves with ease through a program shaped by Chubb’s years living abroad, family ties, and reflections on displacement and compassion, alongside searching interpretations of John Lewis’s “Django” and Harold Arlen’s “Out of This World.” Rooted in place and trust, the recording introduces The Statuary beyond its walls — music shaped by decades of relationships and delivered with clarity, conviction, and an unshakeable sense of community.

About "The Statuary'' - "Where the line between the band and the audience ceases to exist. Jersey City's intimate home for jazz, art, and culture." The Statuary originated in 1907 as the Jersey Statuary Company of Jersey City where the two-story house was Gino DeSanctis's, sculptor and painter, workshop. In 2007, the building was converted into an active artist live/work/present space that has since been a home for community members to celebrate artistic expression, diversity, inclusion, and love through music. The Statuary echoes the mood of the 1970s Jazz Loft scene and provides a platform for innovative and culturally significant local, regional, and national musical talent creating an ethereal atmosphere akin to the history that has shaped this one-of-a-kind space.
This event is in partnership with https://RiverviewJazz.Org and supported by public funds from the Jersey City Arts and Culture Trust Fund.
