Jazz at the Berrie Center presents
A Benny Goodman Centennial Celebration
Featuring the Ken Peplowski Sextet
Saturday, March 6
8 p.m., Sharp Theater
“Since the advent of Benny Goodman there have been too few clarinetists to fill the void that Goodman left. Ken Peplowski is most certainly one of those few. The man is magic,” said the late Mel Torme. If you’re a fan of the King of Swing, you’re in for an evening of great music, played by a master.

Berrie Center First Decade Gala Performance
The Legendary Arlo Guthrie
Sunday, March 7
7 p.m., Sharp Theater
Folk singer, musician, composer and son of folk icon Woody Gurthrie, Arlo Guthrie came to fame in 1967, when "Alice's Restaurant," his satirical, dead-pan protest against the Vietnam War draft debuted in movie theaters across America. Arlo’s appearance at the seminal Woodstock music festival two years later cemented his place in cultural history. This is a rare chance to see Arlo in an intimate theater.
Seating Category #1 / #2 / #3 Orchestra Balcony

Leon Redbone
Sunday, March 14
3 p.m., Sharp Theater
For the last three decades and counting, nobody could mistake Leon Redbone for any other performer, singer, guitarist, or character. Though his iconic guise of his Panama hat, jacket and sunglasses has been thoroughly satirized, the bard has continued his love affair with tunes from the turn-of-the-century (as in the second-to-last century), flapper-era radio ditties, Depression-spawned ragtime and World War II folk-jazz.
Seating Category #1 / #2 / #3 Orchestra Balcony
Tickets: $30/27/24; Children under 17 $15; Seniors, Ramapo Affiliates, WBGO Radio and N.J. Jazz Society members receive 5% off regular ticket prices
