D.C.: CRAIG HANDY & 2ND LINE SMITH AT BOHEMIAN CAVERN
Craig Handy will perform atBOHEMIAN CAVERNS(2001 Eleventh Street N.W., Washington, DC - 202-299-0800 - ) on Friday & Saturday, March 21st & 22nd at 8:30 & 10:30 pm. Handy's distinctive sound and authentic instrumental prowess were redoubtable traits immediately noticed by artists of stature, especially those committed to nurturing new talent on the bandstand and road. Handy moved to New York in 1986 and began several associations with formidable artists including master drummers Art Blakey and Roy Haynes, South African melodist Abdullah Ibrahim, and the Mingus Dynasty Band. In 1995, he continued playing with the new critically acclaimed band "Chartbusters", featuring alto saxophonist Donald Harrison, organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, and drummer Idris Muhammad (a harbinger of things to come this fall, if not the past five years) and recorded two releases on the NYC and Prestige labels. Handy toured with Herbie Hancock throughout 1996 to mid-1999, and he led two more recording projects on the Sirroco label - 1999's Reflections in Change and 2000's Flow. By this time he had amassed performing and recording credits with Cedar Walton, Elvin Jones, Joe Henderson, George Adams, Freddie Hubbard, and Wynton Marsalis. Handy returns as an original bandleader and party-starter for his new touring and recording project on the venerated OKeh label, a division of Sony Masterworks. Titled Craig Handy & 2nd Line Smith, Handy draws from his fondness for the music of New Orleans, smack attached to the groove-filled re-imaginings of originals and standards by the late, great organist Jimmy Smith. There is a $20 cover.

More than 30 of the greatest talents in the DC area will take part in this very special tribute. Performances By: Julia Nixon, The Soul Serenaders Featuring Billy Price & Tommy Lepson, Tom Principato, Daryl Davis, Patty Reese, King Soul, Eric Scott, Soul Crackers.
