NY Hot Jazz Festival
2 6th Ave, New York, NY 10013
Tel: (212) 519-6649
Reservations required! Tonight I’ll be performing alongside some of my very favorite musicians! Jon Eric Kellso (trumpet), Jay Rattman (clarinet), John Gill (drums/trombone) and, leading the group, the one-and-only Eddy Davis (banjo/vocals). This set will be a special tribute to the legendary pianist, composer and singer Lil Hardin Armstrong (second wife of Louis!) original member of perhaps the most important and influential band in the history of jazz music. Eddy will present a program of compositions by Lil along with great anecdotes and stories. Don’t miss this one!!
