Jazz can be found practically every night of the week in New Haven: at cigar bars, alongside pizza, and amidst videos and DVDs, among other places. For a jazz fan who wishes to partake of live music even during the day, Elm City Market has brought back its popular weekly jazz brunch on Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., which means not only do you get tunes, but you can have a meal (or a muffin or a mug of coffee or both) as well.
It all resumed on Sunday with Jeff Fuller and Friends, no strangers to this event or to the local jazz scene in general. They had been regulars before the pandemic. The trio consisted of Fuller on bass, Darren Litzie on piano, and Ben Bilello on drums. Set up at on the State Street entrance to the store, eight tables were available in the café for attendees, though once the music started, many who were shopping — and even a few of those who were working there — stopped in their tracks and started to bop along with the music.
