NEA Jazz Master Lou Donaldson has been one of the most respected names in jazz since the 1950s, when he worked with artists like Milt Jackson and Thelonious Monk. With a huge tone and soul-influenced style that combines straight-ahead jazz, blues, bebop, and soul music, he calls his groove-laden style “soul sax.” While Sweet Poppa Lou will be enjoying tonight’s set from a front-row seat in the audience, his soulful vibe will surely infuse the playing of Akiko Tsuruga, Fukushi Tainaka, Champian Fulton, Charlie Sigler, Zaid Nasser and surprise special guests as they salute him on his milestone 95th birthday.
Please note that Lou Donaldson will not perform on this show.
That's right, this Sunday without any tricks, just straight ahead no nonsense jazz live and in-person at the Cutting Room.
I hope you can join us for this musical Halloween treat featuring the Gerald Cannon Quintet. Without a doubt, the best musical deal in town. Two sets for one music charge :-). Looking forward to a swingin' Sunday. Great music, delicious food, and the beverage of your choice :-). Reservations, 917-882-9539.
