The Statuary

Pre-orders are now open! Ted Chubb releases Live at The Statuary on May 15 via Circle 9 Records. He recorded the album March 15–18, 2025 at his Jersey City venue, where audiences sit just feet from the band and the room becomes part of the performance. New single: “SBB Bounce” — written during Chubb’s years traveling across Switzerland, shaped by long train rides, shifting landscapes, and time in motion. Chubb leads a quintet with: Bruce Williams (alto saxophone) Oscar Perez (piano, Fender Rhodes) Tom DiCarlo (bass) Jerome Jennings (drums) Link in bio! #TedChubb #Jazz #NewMusic #JazzTrumpet #Circle9Records

Meet us, the co‑owners of The Statuary — Rachel Ryll (CEO) and Ted Chubb (Artistic Director) — partners in life, in music, and in the work of shaping this space we love. Together, we bring decades of experience in community building, arts administration, and professional musicianship to guide The Statuary. Over the past 5 years we have hosted thousands of our friends, neighbors, community members, and general music lovers to over 50+ concerts in our home situated in Jersey City Heights. As CEO, Rachel leads our strategy, partnerships, and community engagement. Her focus is on accessibility, artist support, and cultivating an intimate environment where creativity can thrive. Over the past several years, she has strengthened The Statuary’s identity as a home for diverse programming, free community concerts, and artist‑centered initiatives that reflect the cultural richness of Jersey City. As Artistic Director, Ted curates the musical direction and production of the venue, drawing on his long career as a jazz trumpeter, bandleader, educator, and arts executive. His programming highlights world‑class musicians, emerging artists, and cross‑genre collaborations that honor the depth and breadth of today’s jazz landscape. Together, we steward The Statuary as a live, work, and presentation space dedicated to authenticity, inclusion, and the shared experience of live music. This partnership — and the energy behind it — is what will carry us into our sixth year at The Statuary. We look forward to welcoming you at The Statuary.

Love when I get introduced to a super cool place I have never been to. Last night, it was @thestatuary , a really beautiful, intimate Jazz spot in the Jersey City Heights. Appreciate the invite my brother, Barry Richards aka @panchromaniac 📸 ! The man knows his Jazz 🎷🎶 -- and a whole lot more! The two sets last night with the @caelan_cardello Trio -- Caelan Cardello – Piano; John Muir Cotton @jonathon_m_c – Bass; @bravo_isaiah – Drums -- were brilliant and 🔥🔥🔥! You guys definitely need to check out The Statuary, owned and run by renowned trumpeter and composer Ted Chubb and his wonderful wife, Rachel Ryll. Ted's journey has been amazing to say the least, and you should learn more about him too! His about section on his website is a must-read. Can't wait to see Ted at the Jersey City Jazz Festival later this month, running from May 26-31. #JerseyCityHeights #Jazz #LiveJazz #Jazz
