NYC: HANK JONES & JOE LOVANO QUARTET AT BIRDLAND
One of the premiere modern tenor saxophonists, Grammy Award-winning Joe Lovano and 91 year-old piano legend Hank Jones, who the National Endowment for the Arts has inducted as a 'Jazz Master', return to BIRDLAND(315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) for this one-week run to lead a quartet featuring drummer Willie Jones III and bassist George Mraz. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday, May 25th though 29th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. While the Lovano-Jones collaboration is relatively young, the partnership has proven to be quite a prolific one: two critically acclaimed quartet masterworks recorded for Blue Note (I'm All for You Ballad Songbook in 2004 and Joyous Encounter in 2005), world tours, and a recorded duet captured live at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York for the sumptuous Blue Note album, Kids: Live at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. There is a $30-$40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
