I Can’t Give You Anything But Song: Jazz, Love and Spring
2026-06-06 19:00 - 20:00 | Jazz on Main, 37 South Moger Avenue, Mount Kisco, NY, 10549, United States
Jean Garner (singer and actress, AEA), with the James Brandfonbrener Trio, brings you an evening of beloved jazz, Great American Songbook favorites, and pop standards — with engaging patter— celebrating the charm of spring and romance.
Garner has soloed at New York’s Green Room 42, Laurie Beechman Theatre, Lincoln Center, regional stages, and concert halls — and acted with Broadway teams. Audiences love her relaxed and inspiring vocal style and sets. “Jean’s voice blew me away,” M. Holmes, singer. “This production is at its best when Garner is on… she’s a gem,” The Pittsfield Gazette. “She was funny at one moment, then heartbreaking and moving the next,” Max Chuck, writer. Jean “is a singing actor… a natural… beyond genius,” A. Hagan.
James Ahn Brandfonbrener (pianist, composer, music director) actively performs at venues across NYC, including The Cutting Room, 54 Below, and Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. He recently debuted Off-Broadway as music director at the American Theater of Actors. An established composer, he has written works for loadbang, the DaCapo Chamber Players, and the Park Avenue Armory. James graduated from Yale University with a BA in Music Composition and was awarded the Abraham Beekman Cox Prize in Composition. He teaches across NYC and Westchester.

Workshop: “Is Your Teen Wearing You Down?”
2026-06-10 18:00 - 19:30 | 55 Church Street, Suite 415, White Plains, NY, 55 Church Street, Suite 415, White Plains, NY, 10601, United States
Bhava Therapy Group will host an in-person experiential workshop, “Is Your Teen Wearing You Down?”, at its Westchester office at 55 Church Street, Suite 415, White Plains.
Led by Amir Levine, PhD, LCSW-R, Co-Founder and Clinical Director of Bhava Therapy Group, this workshop is designed to help parents better understand teen development, navigate communication challenges, and rebuild connection during one of the most emotionally complex stages of family life.
Many parents find themselves feeling exhausted, frustrated, and unsure of how to reach their teen. Conflict, emotional shutdown, withdrawal, and recurring arguments can leave families feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. This workshop reframes those experiences not as parental failure but as opportunities to understand better what is happening beneath adolescent behavior and learn healthier ways of responding.
Participants will learn:
How teen biopsychosocial development impacts behavior and communication
How to recognize and regulate their own emotional responses during conflict
Practical strategies for de-escalating tension
How to communicate without triggering defensiveness
Ways to reconnect after moments of disconnection
“This workshop is about helping parents better understand both their teens and themselves,” says Amir Levine. “When we begin to understand what is happening beneath the behavior, communication can shift from reaction and conflict toward connection and understanding.”
The workshop is practical, experiential, and grounded in The Bhava Method, Bhava Therapy Group’s relational and embodied therapeutic approach. Attendees will leave with tools they can begin applying immediately in everyday family interactions.

Sunday Brunch with Peter Janson
2026-08-30 12:00 - 14:00 | Jazz on Main, 37 South Moger Avenue, Mount Kisco, NY, 10549, United States
Guitarist Peter Janson lives in Boston, Massachusetts, and has been forging his path as an independent solo guitarist since 1999. Building what he considers a meaningful life, Peter’s music events are an important part of that: he performs concerts and tours regularly, founded his own Eastern Woods Music label, gives guitar workshops, and directs jazz ensembles and private guitar lessons at the University of Massachusetts Boston. There aren’t many jazz guitarists today focusing exclusively on solo guitar, but for Janson, playing solo jazz guitar is both his passion and love – he is inspired by the solo guitar works of players like Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and Wolfgang Muthspiel, as well as jazz legends such as Joe Pass, Earl Klugh, and Jim Hall. Now gaining international recognition, Peter signed worldwide sub-publishing deals with STOMP Music Korea and UK-based SUPREME SONGS Limited in October 2022.
Growing up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Peter listened to his father, an accomplished amateur guitarist, play solo guitar every day. Given his first guitar at the age of 7, Peter started playing pop gigs at 15. For the last twenty-five years, he has performed extensively throughout North America; most notably at Carnegie Hall and the Montreal Jazz Festival. His music has been placed in video games, commercials, and news documentaries, charted on Billboard for 11 weeks in the top 10 (as a session guitarist), and has a growing fan base across 137 countries. His latest recording, Getting To Here, is in rotation on over 75 radio stations globally, as well as on streaming formats.
“As a musician, I have continued to grow through the exploration of numerous genres. After many years, jazz form, language, and sensibility have returned to become the place where I can make music. I didn’t want too formal a structure to work on, but rather an improvisational base. There is a need for me to work as a solo guitarist, exploring styles and improvising. It gives me joy and helps me understand life in a way nothing else does. I embrace traditional elements, acoustic nylon-string sounds, and form, and merge them with sound-enhancing tools and chance. I see no important difference between genres, just as I see no difference between making music and the everyday aspects of life. Performing music, reading a novel or poetry while sipping a cup of coffee, teaching a student, they are all related.”

“He possesses a full, rich sound on both trumpet and flugelhorn, and his technique is incredible. It is as a composer that his development is even more amazing.” – Kenny Barron.
“…a profound declaration of his own distinct artistic identity… he seamlessly weaves sophisticated harmonies and intricate polyrhythms… into a modern jazz framework, creating a sound that is both deeply personal and strikingly innovative.” – Latin Jazz Network.
