Live Jazz!
August 1, 2011
A club where we play regularly is in imminent danger of closing. It is the 5C Cultural Center and Cafe in the East Village. The Miles Cafe is new and just recently got their liquor license
Attendance at live performance venues of all types is low, excepting, of course, Broadway and jazz clubs whose high profile performers tour the world. Serious music lovers tend to stay home and listen to their stereos. And everyone is connected to the internet, Netflix, and TV as a main source of entertainment.
Please support live jazz!!!

University of the Streets – July 24, 2010
July 22, 2010
First, thanks to all of you who have been coming out to listen. It’s necessary to have your ears. Without them, we can just stay home and play for ourselves, which is ok, but, it’s fun to share.
This Saturday, 7/24, will be the first time I’m playing at The University of the Streets. It’s a concert venue which also serves snacks and beer and wine. It’s only $12 to get in and no other purchase is necessary.
I’ll be playing with some old old friends. Bob and Joe joined me on some of my first jazz gigs in the 1970s. The rest of the band is not so old.
We’ll be playing standards from the American Songbook as well as some bebeop tunes, Tristano, Monk, Konitz and who knows what else. There is no set list. We’ll decide in the moment.
The address is 130 East 7th Street in Manhattan. The hall is one flight up.
We begin at 8:00 P.M., and will end around 10:30 or 11:00 P.M.
- Bob Arthurs trumpet
- Dave Frank tenor
- Charles Sibirsky piano
- Joe Solomon bass
- Robert Weiss drums
