Oct 23, 2026 – Last night, the Playhouse Café welcomed acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader Michael Wolff for an intimate evening of live music.
With a career spanning more than five decades, Wolff has performed and recorded alongside some of jazz’s most celebrated artists, including Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, Christian McBride, and Tony Williams. He also served as musical director for The Arsenio Hall Show, where he accompanied an extraordinary range of musical guests, from Ray Charles and B.B. King to Herbie Hancock and Whitney Houston.
Known for his virtuosity, adventurous style, and inventive approach to composition, Wolff continues to push the boundaries of jazz while drawing on a lifetime of musical exploration. His performance at the Playhouse offered an opportunity to experience this remarkable talent in an intimate setting, bringing audiences closer to the music and the artist behind it.
Thank you to Michael Wolff and everyone who joined us for a memorable evening of live jazz at the Playhouse.
