Dizzy's Club Coca Cola: Broadway and 60th Street, 5th Floor. Set Times: 7:30 & 9:30PM Nightly 11:30PM Tuesday-Saturday.Saxophonist Dan Block is a classically-trained jazz chameleon, stylistically versatile and extraordinarily skilled on multiple wind instruments. Though highly regarded as a classical player and in such eclectic settings as Haitian music and on Broadway, Block is still perhaps most well-versed in jazz tradition, ranging from early New Orleans to modal jazz and beyond. In this vein, he has worked extensively with artists like Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks (1920s and 1930s big band repertoire), guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli, and vocalist and keeper of the American Songbook, Michael Feinstein. After recently honoring Duke Ellington in a refreshingly unique and highly praised tribute project, Block now extends this reputation for Mary Lou Williams & Benny Carter Meet Hard Bop. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
