SEAN JONES’ DIZZY SPELLZ
Trumpeter Sean Jones’ Dizzy Spellz has wowed New York audiences for years with its interpretation of the late, great jazz master Dizzy Gillespie. Armed with a turntablist and the tap dancing Appalachian style of Brinae Ali, Jones and Dizzy Spellz put a new spin on Diz, from his bebop beginnings to his later Afro-Cuban tunes. The band will serve as an amazing kick off to the 2023 Purdue Jazz Festival.

The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager returned home to the Big Apple and caught the last performance of Kenny Barron at the Village Vanguard on Sunday and is hanging out to bring in the new year with hope that the world will turn around and be kinder. If you can’t be in some exotic destination like Bahia, Tahiti or San Blas there’s no better place to be than New York City.
I’ll be at the Blue Note for the last set of the evening by Chris Botti. Owner and founder Danny Bensusan had a vision to create a jazz club in Greenwich Village that would treat deserving artists with respect, while allowing patrons to see the world’s finest jazz musicians in a close, comfortable setting. He accomplished his goal. Since 1981, Blue Note has been a cultural institution in New York City and one of the premiere jazz clubs in the world.
As we look towards the future, I implore you to be responsible for yourself and others, promote gentleness with this world and practice random acts of kindness whenever the opportunity presents itself. Have a prosperous and Happy New Year!
The club’s number is 212-475-8592. If you want to get more information visit notoriousjazz.com/event/chris-botti.
