Captured by film director Martin Scorsese, this enormous occurrence would be witnessed, captured, &amp; shared world wide for over 5 decades. Since that day when the film debut, professional musicians &amp; lovers of this concert would recreate it for both artistic or even charitable significance.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2023, ROSTAFA &amp; CO. have brought this one of a kind Thanksgiving tradition to the town of Montclair to help those in need during the holiday season. Raising over $15,000, this event has become the biggest concert fundraiser of the entire year. North NJ musicians, including those from Montclair, recreate the magic &amp; brilliance of a timeless classic of honor American music that shaped the 20th Century &amp; beyond.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday November 7th, live once again from Montclair Art Museum&#8217;s Leir Hall, that timeless, Thanksgiving tradition returns. Featuring the largest ensemble to every perform this event in the United States, will once again be raising money for the 501C3 non-profit organization Toni&#8217;s Kitchen. More than just a soup kitchen, they help those in need with food, clothing, &amp; resources to live dignified &amp; honorable lives. The work must continue to remind our community that no one is forgotten, neglected, or rejected.
