Suga in My Bowl radio presents a new feature, On The Bandstand where we collect upcoming NYC area shows from current and past Suga’ guests.
TThe show is off the air this week for our end-of-the-month break, but there’s still some live music, so let’s dig in.
Looking further ahead, blues singer Alexis P. Suter opens for Johnny Winter at B.B. King’s Blues Club on April 29th.
Saxpohonist Gary Bartz leads a quartet at the re-opened Minton’s on the 30th. Details are at Mintons’ website.
Organist John Medeski will be at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester NY with The Word on Mayday: May 1st. The Capitol Theatre’s a short walk from Port Chester’s Metro-North station.
Drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts appears at Smoke Jazz club on May 2nd and 3rd with Jimmy Greene.
It’s your last chance to catch events at the Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium’s annual spring festival (link opens a PDF), which wraps up at the end of the month. It’s all part of Jazz Appreciation Month, culminating in the UN’s International Jazz Day (yes, there is such a thing) on the 30th. Details at the hyperlink if you’re interested and want to help preserve the tradition and help create awareness of the music.
That’s all for now. Suga’ in My Bowl will be back on WBAI next Sunday (May 4th) and we’ll have another edition of “On the Bandstand” online here with a fresh set of listings.
A reminder that WBAI radio is still in serious financial trouble. Help keep Suga’ (and all your other favorite shows) on the air by pledging whatever you can or consider becoming a “WBAI Buddy” with a monthly pledge.
