Hamptons JazzFest will conclude its 2026 summer season with a performance by Arcoiris Sandoval, a pianist and composer, and Steve Wilson, a saxophonist, on Saturday at 3 p.m. at LTV Studios.
Originally from Tucson and based in New York City, Sandoval is known for her work in jazz and contemporary improvised music. With a master’s degree from the Manhattan School of Music, she is a two-time ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award winner and was a semifinalist in the Montreux Solo Jazz Piano Competition in Switzerland.
She has performed at major festivals throughout the world, including the Umbria Jazz Festival several times with Allan Harris, the New York Jazz Piano Festival, the Vermont Jazz Center Solo Piano Festival, and the Tucson Jazz Festival, where she performed with the drummer Jimmy Cobb.
Wilson plays many different instruments and has performed and recorded on over 25 albums. A professor of music and director of jazz studies at the City College of New York, his interests include folk, jazz, classical, world music, and experimental music.
Over the course of his career, he has performed with the Mingus Big Band, the American Jazz Orchestra, and the Smithsonian Jazz Orchestra. He toured Europe in 1988 with Lionel Hampton and has performed and recorded with Chick Corea, George Duke, Dave Holland, Billy Hart, and Christian McBride.
The program will include original compositions, jazz standards, and contemporary improvisation. Tickets are $30, $20 for students.
The Anderson Twins
Will Anderson and Peter Anderson, identical twin musicians who have mastered the clarinet, flute, and alto, tenor, and soprano saxophones, will perform a multimedia program celebrating the work of George Gershwin at the Wainscott venue on Sunday afternoon at 4. The duo will be accompanied by Dalton Ridenhour on piano.
In 1995, when the brothers were in third grade, they saw a commercial on television for Chips Ahoy that featured Benny Goodman’s “Sing, Sing, Sing” as the music accompaniment. “We got really interested in 1930s swing music,” Will Anderson told LTV. “The next year we started playing clarinet and got hooked on jazz right away.”
Sunday’s show will include “Rhapsody in Blue,” Gershwin’s iconic song that blends classical and jazz and specifically features the clarinet. “There’s a famous moment in the piece where there’s a big slide — the clarinet starts on its lowest note and glissandos up very high — so it’s one of the reasons why we love to put it in the program,” Peter Anderson said.
The brothers’ debut album, “Correspondence,” landed them on Vanity Fair’s list of “four new releases to make you love jazz” in 2013. They were nominated for a Drama Desk Award the following year for their Off Broadway show “Le Jazz Hot” and earned a Bistro Award as outstanding instrumentalists in 2018.
The doors will open for “The Anderson Brothers Play Gershwin” at 3:30. Tickets are $40 for general admission, $50 at the door, and $75 per person with a two-person minimum for cafe table seating with bar and bottle service, which will be $200 at the door.
