Armstrong House hosts ‘Hot Jazz/Cool Garden’ concert this Saturday from the QUEENS TOURISM COUNCIL She certainly ain’t no hillbilly. Urban, soulful, and at times edgy, Cynthia Sayer defies all banjo-player stereotypes. Her eclectic, swing-based shows demonstrate a unique style that honors classical jazz while also embracing contemporary styles. On August 15 at 2 p.m., Sayer brings her Sparks Fly Quartet to the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Corona to jam during the ninth annual Hot Jazz/Cool Garden series. The group has a core that pays tribute to Satchmo, the concert’s honoree, but its eclectic repertoire embraces other musical influences of the 1920s and 1930s. Sayer, a founding member of Woody Allen’s New Orleans Jazz Band, can also surprise. She is considered one of the best four-string banjo virtuosos in the world, but she loves to sing and play the piano, ukulele, and guitar. As part of the fun, Armstrong’s favorite dish, red beans and rice, will be served along with sweet tea. Plus, the $18 ticket includes a free guided tour of the historic house he called home. Bonus event: The fun returns to the Armstrong House on August 29, when borough-based musician Dennis Lichtman and his Queensboro Six offer the free Queens Jazz Heritage Concert at 2 p.m. ‘Holes for Hope’ supports autism programs Hundreds gathered at the Engineers Country Club in Roslyn Harbor on Aug. 3 for the sixth-annual “Holes for Hope” fundraiser supporting local charities dedicated to helping persons with autism.
