Jazz After Hours is curated by Long Island native Cliff Ferdon, a musician, instructor and producer who works in the Huntington area.  This monthly event was the product of a brain-storm during the long power outage in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Jazz After Hours serves as a great new venue for live jazz, especially after other local live music venues, like the IMAC and Chesterfields, have closed.  This program – which truly creates a great nightclub atmosphere – is in keeping with the founding spirit of the Cinema Arts Centre – to provide great cultural programming where there is an interest and a need.
