A few months after escaping Russia and landing in Manhattan, Ponomarev found himself standing next to his hero, Art Blakey at a Messengers gig at the Five Spot. The next night, he sat in with the band, earned a hug from Blakey and laid the groundwork for his eventual membership in the Messengers family. After recording 11 albums over four years, Ponomarev was ready to launch his career as soloist and bandleader, leaving his trumpet chair with the Messengers for a young Wynton Marsalis. With his big band at the Iridium, he honors Blakey's years with Billy Eckstine and Earl Hines. There is a $25 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum. $15 cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.
