Some bands take fifty years to find their way back to each other. Neal Haiduck and David Heckendorn first played together in the Catskill Mountains half a century ago — and this cabaret-style evening is a reunion in disguise. Join them! Settle in for an evening of clarinet, grand piano, double bass, and drums, playing favorites -- the well-known and the wonderfully obscure.
