Home Jazz Alley

From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz!

The future of Jazz

Several/many moons ago, someone posted a video of Emmett Cohen from his home playing with Patrick Bartley (as) and Bruce Harris (tp). Last night I saw/heard Mr. Bartley in Giveton Gelin's (tp) quintet at the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival (Rockville, MD; DC suburb). These kids* are the future of Jazz. Rashaan Carter (one of my fellow WPFW programmer's, Ellen Carter, musical sons) did a fine job on bass. I was not familiar with or remember the names of the pianist and drummer, but they were certainly worthy of sharing the same stage.

The world might be going to hell in a hand basket, fast, but at least for an evening one could forget about that and even music.

Ciao,

*No idea how old they were, but at 65, I can even call thirty-somethings kids.
