Arch Stanton Quartet: Rushford Labor Day Festival, September 5, 2021

Review by Mark Getzin (Cuba Patriot)

For me, one of the highlights of this year's celebration was the opportunity to hear incredible jazz played by the Arch Stanton Quartet from central New York. The band features Rushford native-son trumpeter and composer Terry Gordon, who graduated from Rushford Central School in 1984, played in the Rushford Town Band, and is an alumnus of Houghton College. The quartet's music is an amalgam of various jazz and Latin styles played with a professional elan exceeding what one expects to hear at a small-town fair.
