Benny Green is a hard bop jazz pianist who was a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. He has been compared to Bud Powell in style and counts him as an influence. There is a $35-$45 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
NYC: PHIL WOODS AT THE BLUE NOTE
One of the true masters of the bop vocabulary, Phil Woods, will perform at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592 - ) on Tuesday & Wednesday, October 15th & 16th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. He will be joined on stage by Brian Lynch, trumpet; Bill Charlap, piano; Bill Goodwin, drums and Steve Gilmore, bass. Woods has had his own sound since the mid-'50s and stuck to his musical guns throughout a remarkably productive career. There has never been a doubt that he is one of the top alto saxophonists alive, and he has lost neither his enthusiasm nor his creativity through the years. Woods contributed the famous alto solo to Billy Joel's hit recording of "Just the Way You Are" and has been one of Michel Legrand's favorite artists, guesting with Legrand on an occasional basis; he has made dozens of rewarding recordings himself through the years. He debuted as a leader in 1954 and has since recorded for Prestige, Savoy, RCA, Mode, Epic, Candid (the brilliant The Right of Swing in 1961), Impulse, MGM, Verve, Embryo, Testament, Muse, Omnisound, Enja, and Chesky, and has recorded with hisQuintet/Quartet for RCA, Gryphon, Adelphi, Clean Cuts, SeaBreeze (two sets adding Chris Swansen's inventive synthesizer to the band), Red, Antilles, Palo Alto, BlackHawk, Denon, and quite extensively for Concord. Some key sets include 1960's Rights of Swing on Candid, 1974's Musique Du Bois on 32 Jazz, 1981's Birds of a Feather from Antilles, and 2002's Americans Swinging in Paris from EMI. There is a $20-$35 cover.
NYC: DISTRICT 97 WITH SPECIAL GUEST JOHN WETTON AND THE MUSIC OF KING CRIMSON
District 97, Featuring Special Guest John Wetton will perform the Music of King Crimson at IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121 - ) on Tuesday, October 15th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. To fans of Progressive Rock, John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia, UK) needs no introduction. He has been regarded as one of the premier vocalists and songwriters at the forefront of the genre since the early 1970s. Continuing that tradition of forward thinking, John now teams up with District 97, one of the leading lights of the new generation of Prog Rock bands. District 97 is undoubtedly the most musically adventurous Rock band to feature an American Idol Top 10 Female Finalist. With her fantastic voice, and looks to match, lead vocalist Leslie Hunt has captured the imagination of rock fans everywhere. Following a highly successful inaugural European tour, she and District 97 now embark on their most ambitious US tour to date. There is a $30 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
