Summer Sundays spent the summer filling Travers Park with cumbia, Bangla fusion, big-band jazz and more, and its fall Plus editions move indoors to Jackson Heights hangouts. Joe Abba's Funk Unit brings funk and R&B to Espresso 77 for a free early-evening set. If you want a relaxed, neighborly way to end the weekend in Queens, this is a sweet one.
What to expect
Expect a small café crowd, a local band playing funk and R&B, and an hour of grooves that suits all ages. It is informal and neighborly rather than a ticketed concert. Space in a café is limited, so arriving early helps, and the surrounding blocks are full of places to eat afterward.
