Tom McDermott & Aurora Nealand

🎷🎹 𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 & 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝗰𝗗𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼𝘁𝘁 bring their legendary Thursday night magic back to Buffa’s — and it’s anything but ordinary.

𝗠𝗰𝗗𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼𝘁𝘁 isn’t just a pianist — he’s a walking encyclopedia of New Orleans music with a mischievous streak and a fearless ear. From early jazz and ragtime to Brazilian choro and funk, he folds it all into a sound that’s smart, surprising, and unmistakably 𝘛𝘰𝘮.

𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 is the wild card — clarinetist, saxophonist, vocalist, bandleader, composer. She channels the spirit of 𝘚𝘪𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘵 and 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴 𝘈𝘳𝘮𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, then launches it into strange new galaxies. Whether she’s leading 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀 or pushing the edges of traditional jazz, Aurora never plays it safe — and never loses the groove.

✨ Together, they’re a masterclass in musical conversation — trading riffs, shifting tempos, and making every set feel like it could go anywhere (because it can). Expect sharp arrangements, fearless improvisation, and the occasional curveball.
