We are delighted to welcome Gomez & Sadlon to OLLI!
Join us for the OLLI at UConn End-of-Semester Celebration on November 13, 2026, with Gomez & Sadlon presenting Jazz Goes to the Movies.
Some of our greatest American jazz standards have originated as songs from classic movies and have become a memorable part of our popular culture. Thom Gomez, guitarist, and Rick Sadlon, saxophonist and flutist, known as “Gomez & Sadlon, will perform musical selections and present a historical perspective and visual, nostalgic program of several well-known American Songbook jazz standards that were either adapted for some of our most iconic scenes on the silver screen, or that were composed specifically for those movies.
The Gomez & Sadlon jazz duo will perform and present selections such as: Blue Skies, As Time Goes By, Pink Panther, The Shadow of Your Smile, Unchained Melody, Misty, and many more historically significant jazz style songs from the movies. Please join us for this unique, entertaining and educational program.
This event was made possible by donations to the OLLI fund.
REGISTER NOW - Advance registration required - space is limited for this members-only event.
Parking
If you purchased a fall parking permit, you have the option to park in UConn's attached parking garage (55 North Elm Street) or the Scovill Street garage (33 Scovill Street). There is a parking attendant in the Scoville Street garage that will need to see the hangtag that UConn Parking Services mailed to you. If you do not have a parking permit, you can pay the attendant and park in the Scovill Street garage or you can use the University's Pay-By-Phone system to park in the attached UConn Waterbury garage. More information about this system can be found at: https://park.uconn.edu/pay-by-phone/.
