Mark Morganelli\u00a0 & Jazz Forum\/Arts\u00a0 Band – Pickwick Plaza (Greenwich) – July 5, 2012<\/p>\n
Morganelli is my hero.\u00a0 He’s got deep jazz cred going back to the NYC loft scene (which I totally missed out on), relocated to the burbs, and for quite a number of years has been organizing summer programs of free superb jazz concerts throughout Westchester (and sometimes Rockland) County, which are invariably great venues for me to practice my craft.\u00a0 But he’s never been a player at any of these (other than a few guest solo shots), thus never been sketched!\u00a0 Situation remedied with this gig.\u00a0 Not any groundbreaking concepts, just smooth renditions of classics (heavy on modal-era Miles) played with hip and graceful swing by four players, each with something to say, and listening to each other.\u00a0 The unsketched player du jour was guitarist John Hart, who I got last year with a different combo.\u00a0 The brutal heat (a noon concert!) and perhaps inadequate publicity resulted in disappointingly low turnout.\u00a0 With this post, I initiate my new policy of only putting up sketches actually done on the gig date, and not calling back (as I could with Hart) works from previous gigs, if already posted.\u00a0 Convoluted and not making a difference to anyone but me, I’m sure.<\/p>\n
