Not sure if there are any Latin/Jazz music lovers out there; I'm plugging my good friend, former college roommate, and fellow musician, Jon Ball as he joins
"Gonzalo Grau & La Clave Secreta" at the Lincoln Center in NYC!
This ~ 2 hour event will be live-streamed on the Lincoln Center website as well as YouTube (link below).
La Clave Secreta has been together for 15 years and their eclectic blend is son cubano, jazz, rhumba, R&B, and funk... so tune-in an turn it up! 7:30p EST ⟶ there's a countdown timer on the YouTube site that should align with anyone's time zone)
⟶ If you know someone who might like some free, live music streamed tonight, boost it out! ⟵ https://lincolncenter.org/series/lincoln-center-presents/gonzalo-grau-andamp-la-clave-secreta

They have some vids up on YouTube if anyone wants to get a taste of their vibe. Like this great rendition of a Stevie Wonder song "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" that they shot in the recording studio. https://youtu.be/lx7D_IltAqw?feature=shared
#NowPlaying Wayne Shorter's precocious Blue Note debut, ably accompanied by Lee Morgan and Coltrane group alumni McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones and Reggie Workman. No wonder Miles Davis snapped up Shorter for his legendary 2nd Great Quintet, which not only adopted his style, but also seemed to "communicate by mental telepathy" after his arrival. #jazz#vinyl#hardbop#modaljazz
As a young fella just getting into #jazz in the late eighties my first impressions of David Sanborn were that he was corny and overly smooth, in an unhip bag I didn't dig with guys like Metheny and the Breckers. Then he blew my fucking mind with the Night Music show and I've respected him ever since. There was almost no really cool weird music on TV in 1988-90 except that show, and man, Night #Music was legit!!! Nick Cave, Bongwater, Pere Ubu, Miles Davis...
@mrcompletely
Very true!
I think Willner’s work, connections, & inspiration brought the really different musicians together but Sanborn had to direct traffic once they were there & that took great skill, knowledge, energy, & patience…
Sanborn, Wilner, & a few other folks like G.E. Smith had very mainstream jobs, like network T.V., and still took part in more obscure, heady projects.
It reminds me of Bill Graham intentionally booking older blues & jazz artist with new & psychedelic rock.
Episodes of the show he hosted from 1988-1990, Sunday Night (later named Michelob Presents Night Music), are available on YouTube. I highly suggest checking those out, along with his vast discography.
I love the blues and jazz ,but I'm too poor to pay for those concerts, Y'all are very fortunate,I tried to see some of my favorites,just can't go out and pay 600 to 700 dollar ticket to pay,I'm good I'll catch it on video #jazz#blues#music
