Frank Tate and Friends – Croton Free Library\u00a0 –\u00a0 12 May 2024<\/p>\n
This concert was the fourth and final show of the Riverview Jazz Series, offered in tribute to the late Manny Albam, a local renowned trombonist, arranger, and director of the BMI Composer’s Workshop.\u00a0 The series was produced by an old friend, Ken Sargeant, with whom I got reunited after at least 50 years, via a convoluted process in which this very blog played a key role.\u00a0 Back in the day, Tate put in some time as Bobby Short’s bass player during his run at the Cafe Carlyle.\u00a0 Ash (https:\/\/www.steveashpiano.com\/) showed his versatility with a solo out-of-genre Chopin nocturne.<\/p>\n
