A founding member of Buffalo-born jazz fusion group Spyro Gyra, Strauss contributed to the platinum-selling Morning Dance, an important chapter in a remarkable musical journey that we'll have the opportunity to celebrate up close.Joining him are two of the region's most accomplished jazz musicians. Lisa Hasselback brings a lifetime of artistry shaped by decades of performance, teaching, and devotion to the jazz tradition, while Ed Croft has become one of Western New York's most sought-after bassists, performing in a multitude of settings. Both have been consistent winners in the annual JazzBuffalo Poll over the past decade.And that's what makes Art Meets Jazz different.Surrounded by the visual art of the Hunt Art Gallery and the Brisbane Lobby, you'll experience three outstanding musicians just a few feet away at Beebe's on the Square while enjoying a drink, a delicious menu by Chef Jess, and time together in one of downtown Buffalo's distinctive spaces.It's more than a concert. It's the kind of intimate arts and cultural experience that gives us more reasons to spend time downtown.Celebrate Rick Strauss and the return of Art Meets Jazz!Art Meets Jazz - 6:00 pm - 8:30 pmMusic - 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/d0de5790-a5fc-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1200-h715-dc081838-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/buffalo/art-meets-jazz-celebrating-rick-strauss/100001998816070674 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Music, Entertainment, Art, Concerts, food-drinks, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-09-23T21:45:00Z - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: Beebe's At The Gallery - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 23.18, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Buffalo - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Beebe's At The Gallery - **lat**: 42.8851266 - **long**: -78.8742379 - **full address**: Beebe's At The Gallery, 403 Main Street, Buffalo, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Art Meets Jazz: Celebrating Rick Strauss - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/1c8a3d5fcc864dd7f201b4af5cd442f8eb66055cbc79d2df97887d2fa33161f4-rimg-w1200-h1389-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1787649377 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Art Meets Jazz: Celebrating Rick Strauss being held? - **A:** Art Meets Jazz: Celebrating Rick Strauss takes place on Wed, 23 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 23 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Beebe's At The Gallery, 403 Main Street, Buffalo, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Art Meets Jazz: Celebrating Rick Strauss? - **A:** Art Meets Jazz: Celebrating Rick Strauss is organized by JazzBuffalo. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at JazzBuffalo's events? - **A:** Attendees have given JazzBuffalo a rating of 4.75/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
