I am a longtime fan of the trombone mastery of Dick Griffin. Primarily his leader albums, like A Dream For Rahsaan, and Eighth Wonder, but also a long list of inspired supporting roles. He's played with Sun Ra since 1959. Just pause: 1959. Also George Benson, McCoy Tyner, Rahsaan Kirk, Dollar Brand, Harry Belafonte.... I had the privilege to see him and his large band, as well as his fantastic paintings in a loft space near Penn Station today. I wasn't around in the 70s when people had loft concerts, but I've read a lot about them. This was as close to that experience as I could imagine. I learned today that his early career included being in a Doo Wop group, and singing and playing in a piano bar four nights a week. He sat at the piano today and sang us an amazing Sun Ra song. Griffin is known for his technique of circular phonics, combining multiphonics with circular breathing. It was transcendent to see and hear this in person. I walked in to watch the dress rehearsal and the banter back-and-forth between Dick and this amazing 10 piece band. There was solid art direction from Griffin, but amazing solos from many as well. As I receive the list of band members, I will tag them here. The paintings will be up for a while. Go to Dicks page for details Here are the list of players as provided by the venue: Dick Griffin Composer, Trombone Rudy Batan, Barotone Saxophone James Elmore, Alto Saxophone Don Hanson, saxes John Lehr, trombone Ronald Hay, Trombone Ralph Halph Hamperian, Tuba Josh Jennings, Trumpet Ivan Baptiste, Trumpet Sonelius Smith, Piano Valentino Arthurs, Drummer Bryce Sebastien, bass

✨ That’s a wrap, New Jersey & New York! ✨ . What an incredible time returning to work with @jazz_house_kids at the Montclair Jazz Festival 2025! 🙌🏽🎷🎺🤗 . Huge congratulations to Melissa and Christian on another outstanding year, and to the entire team—especially Dan Gettler and Jennifer Verdonck—for making it all happen. 🫶🏽 . I was also able to reconnect with a few (though not all!) of my amazing friends I’ve missed so much since moving back to El Paso. Catching up, reliving the city vibe, and seeing so many talented musicians—even briefly—was truly priceless. . Also having my dear friend Laura come up and visit and experience the east coast with me and celebrate her birthday Happy Birthday Laura! . New Jersey & New York, you’ll always hold a special place in my heart, my second home! Until next time! ❤️✨
