Tony Cuda's Jazz Cats- Thursday, June 25, 2026 | 7:00-9:00pm
Tony Cuda’s Jazz Cats is a powerhouse modern jazz ensemble based in Cleveland, blending inventive composition with bold improvisation. Founded in 2010 by bassist and composer Tony Cuda, the band draws on a wide range of influences from Chick Corea and Mahavishnu Orchestra to Miles Davis and King Crimson, creating a sound that’s both progressive and deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. The group features Chris Cuda (guitar), Dan Maier (keys), Jim Cirillo (saxes), and Jim Wall (drums), each bringing decades of experience across genres and stages, from jazz clubs to rock festivals.

One drink minimum. Light snacks and a limited bar including beer, wine, sparkling wine, non-alcoholic beverages, and the following curated cocktails:

WATERMELON MOJITO & BEER-ITA

You Make Our Events Special – A performer without an audience is like a tree that falls in the forest with no one to hear. In both cases, the essence of the experience—the sound of the falling tree or the energy of the performance—depends on the presence of witnesses.

Your Impact: When you purchase a ticket or RSVP and show up to our event, you’re not just filling a seat—your presence gives our performers the energy and excitement that fuels their performance. But without a full and engaged audience, their efforts won’t shine as brightly.

Please RSVP only if you’re certain you can attend. Of course, we know that sometimes unexpected issues might prevent you from coming. If you realize you or your guest(s) can’t make it, please let us know as soon as possible. This will allow us to give the open spot to someone else. There’s nothing more disappointing for us than turning people away because of a sold-out event only to find that we could have placed them. You get it, right? We know you do.

The Reward: Your commitment to attending means a lot to Heights Arts, even more to those who are taking the stage, and most importantly to YOU. We have no doubt you will be inspired by our featured talent. When you attend, you will even get a little extra something as a thank you from us in celebration of our 25th anniversary.

Thanks for your understanding. We’ll see you soon!
