The Jazz Voyager

Autumn in New York is one of my favorite times of year. The weather is wonderful and the jazz is plentiful. This month the Jazz Voyager is flying nowhere but around the isldanrelegated to the city’s cabs, private cars or Lyfts. Last week was Dizzy’s at Columbus Circle, this week I’ll be right up Broadway to Lincoln Center to be in the audience at Alice Tull Hall.

For the listening pleasure of this week’s audience I will be in attendance to witness the talent of Trindadian trumpeter and composer Etienne Charles with his band Creole Soul. Joining him is the University of Miami Frost Symphony Orchestra along with special guests. They’ll be paying tribute to San Juan Hill, a story about the Black neighborhood that was destroyed in order to build the venerable performance venue complex, Lincoln Center.
