POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Just returned to NY after my longest absence since 2003... a beautiful visit, if achingly brief. A couple of hours before flying back to London I managed to squeeze in a run in the October sunshine in Prospect Park. Afterward, as @dantepfer and I stretched by the lake, we happened upon this majestic individual. A beautiful send-off. Let's not go so long between drinks next time, NY! (And extra special thanks to @fannydelsol_ @theobleckmann @aronoffmatt @ghex @jenniferkesslernyc and the ever-untaggable Matt Penman for the sweet hangs and spontaneous music-making. And not least to Dan for the gait adjustment that has me barely able to walk 2 days later 🤪) by @jojolawry

Lee Konitz would’ve turned 99 yesterday, so when my friend and killer singer @jojolawry came over to play, we had to do something in his honor. This is a tune that I performed with Lee dozens of times during my 12 years on the road with him: Lennie Tristano’s ‘317 E 32nd St’ — stay till the end to hear the head. by @jojolawry

For your consideration, as first round of voting draws to a close, if any NARAS friends are yet to wrap your ears around “Acrobats” we’d love you to have a listen and consider it for Best Jazz Vocal Album. FYC link in bio… 🙏😘 (📸by @erikakapin ) by @jojolawry
