George Coleman – October 16, 2012
George Coleman – Juilliard School – October 16, 2012 The Juilliard jazz program is training grounds for, and pipeline to, New York’s (and the country’s) jazz scene. They occasionally snag a player visiting town for some gigs with the Juilliard … Continue reading
Cymbals Eat Guitars – September 7, 2012
Cymbals Eat Guitars – Williamsburg Park – September 7, 2012 One more new (to me) venue – Williamsburg Park (audience in the empty massive swimming pool); one more late summer evening that’s too dark to sketch the headliner (in this … Continue reading

Piazzolla Anniversary Concert – August 7, 2012
Piazzolla Anniversary Concert – Naumburg Bandshell (Central Park) – August 7, 2012 This is one of those concerts for which no title seems exactly right. Astor Piazzolla was the astonishing nuevo tango composer (and bandoneon player) who gave new direction … Continue reading

Charles Bradley – July 12, 2012
Charles Bradley – World Financial Center – July 12, 2012 Here’s my suggestion for an SAT analogy question – oops, they’ve been discontinued. Okay, let’s make it for the GAT – the Gambino Attitude Test: Tina Turner is to Bettye … Continue reading
Mark Morganelli & Jazz Forum/Arts Band – July 5, 2012
Mark Morganelli & Jazz Forum/Arts Band – Pickwick Plaza (Greenwich) – July 5, 2012 Morganelli is my hero. He’s got deep jazz cred going back to the NYC loft scene (which I totally missed out on), relocated to the burbs, … Continue reading

Gretchen Parlato / Gregory Porter – June 27, 2012
Gretchen Parlato/Gregory Porter – Madison Square Park – June 27, 2012 Two GP vocalists at one gig, neither of which I was familiar with beforehand, both proving worthy. Additional post-production research was therefore necessary, for more background filler (or, trivia, … Continue reading
Dianne Reeves – June 16, 2012
Sing the Truth (Soul Sisters) – New Haven Green – June 16, 2012 Unsure how to notate this gig, as their own press has shown some ambiguity. The overall event is the weeks-long International Festival of Arts and Ideas, and … Continue reading
Ted Rosenthal Quintet – June 1, 2012
Ted Rosenthal Quintet – New York Historical Society – June 1, 2012 Institutions are really coming out of the woodwork to sponsor music series, much to love! Rosenthal has dedicated his most recent works to Monk, taking some compositional liberties … Continue reading

Ted Brown – May 20, 2012
Ted Brown – White Plains Public Library – May 20, 2012 Brown was an unfamiliar quantity for me. Apparently a follower of Lenny Tristano, as were several of his band mates. They grooved with the comfort of a bunch of … Continue reading
