Tonight, we’re down in Charleston, SC with Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, playing at the Spoleto Festival. We’ve been moved indoors because of the inclement weather, so we’ll be at the TD Arena at 9pm. Come and check it out if you’re nearby!

Looking forward to some Big Band Double Duty, today:

First, I’ll be with the George Gee Swing Orchestra at Smalls Jazz Club, from 4:30-7:00pm. Come through and swing with us, or watch online at SmallsLive.com.

Then, I’ll be heading uptown to join Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra at Birdland. 2 shows, at 9pm and 11pm, as usual. Last night’s show at The Apollo Theater, with Dr Cornel West, was an incredible experience. This promises to be an extra festive one tonight!

Hope to see you out and about!

Getting a busy day of music underway! About to start a full day of rehearsals with Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, for our concert at The Apollo Theatre in Harlem, tomorrow evening. We’ll be featuring Dr Cornel West among our guest soloists – premiering “The Cornel West Concerto” by Arturo O’Farrill. Should be an amazing night of music!!

In the meantime, later today, I’ll be making the late show hit with the Seth Weaver Big Band at the Zinc Bar, in the West Village. We’ll be holding court from 10pm to 1am. Hope to see you out and about!!

Looking forward to some Big Band double duty today.

First, from 4:30pm–7:00pm, I’ll be with Eyal Vilner’s Big Band at Smalls Jazz Club, in NYC. Come down and hang with us or, if you’re not in town, watch the online stream at SmallsLive.com.

Then, at 9:00pm & 11:00pm, I’ll be with Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra for our weekly visit to Birdland.

What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than to bring your Mom to see either (or both!) of these great big bands? Hope to see you out and about…
