Branford Marsalis & pianist Joey Calderazzo--a great duo--will headline the "Keep The Vision Alive" benefit concert at the Carolina Theatre in Durham Sunday 11/22/15. Having seen & heard many of the jazz musicians NCCU has produced, which feeds both the locavore & national jazz scene, I recommend supporting the NCCU Jazz Program highly.

The Mint Julep Jazz Band is not just a swing dance band. They are a powerful band, as seen & heard at the Blue Note Grill Wednesday night. Presenting their new CD, "Battle Axe", in order they not only kept a legion of swing dancers busy, they wowed the sitting audience too (me included). And, it's refreshing to hear our parents' oldies presented so well...
First, Wednesday night brings two events you can enjoy one after the other:
--Al Strong has a listening session for his upcoming "Lovestrong Vol. 1" CD at Letters Bookshop in downtown Durham 6-7:30. --After that you can go see Mint Julep Jazz Band play their new CD "Battle Axe" at the Blue Note Grill at 8. However, given how busy the BNG has been, either make a rez or get their early. Then, on Thursday & Friday, extravore acts give us more choices than normal: --Jazz/funk bassist Derrick Hodge appears at Motorco at 8p with the Nashville-based Dynamo funk/jazz/kitchen sink large band. One guarantee: the room will be moving funkily as long as someone is playing. --Friday night South African jazz legend Abdullah Ibrahim plays at Duke. It's always good to hear South African jazz vibes. Otherwise it's check venues & your favorite artists for plenty of other jazz! |
