Piano. Upright bass. Clarinet. Cornet. Drums. Trombone.
The professional pedigrees of the Gotham Jazzmen, as they like to be known when they are performing at the New York Public Library of the Performing Arts (Lincoln Center, UWS), would combine to be a couple of hundred years of music education and performance.
They gave us a rich, nuanced experience of New Orlean's-type jazz. Some hits from their set list (from my notes, might be slightly wrong titles!):
- Bye Bye Blackbird
- Everybody Loves My Baby
- How Deep is the Ocean
- Crazy Rhythm
- Creole Love Song
- Christopher Columbus
- Willow Weep for Me
- Me, Myself and I
I can't wait to become a regular at their Tuesday noon concerts. Three of them have another band called The Creole Cookin' Jazz Band, which is performing on Sunday nights from 7-10 pm at Arthur's Tavern in Greenwich Village, NYC. http://www.arthurstavernnyc.com/performances.html
