A couple of items of interest:
Eastman School of Music pays tribute to one of the giants of jazz, Bob Brookmeyer: Composer, conductor, pianist and valve trombonist. Never boring.
The concert is slated for Dec. 2 at Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School of Music at 8 pm. Admission is free.
Elsewhere, The New York Times caught up to Vince Giordano with a nice article last Friday. A nice piece giving a little bit of the color at the Hotel Edison and the man who leads the band.
A snippet:
“These were the creators of jazz. Why not preserve and present their music the way we do for Bach and Beethoven?”
