[Dixielandjazz] SOME INTERESTING NYC JAZZ THIS WEEK

[Steve Barbone]

Here are 4 Jazz appearances that may interest list mates in NYC. John
Pizzarelli with "Swing"., Ned Rothenberg with a great tuba player, Marcus
Rojas, The legendary Clark Terry, and Wynton Marsalis with a Louis Armstrong
Hot Five program, which I hope he records.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone



JOHN PIZZARELLI (Tuesday through Thursday) Mr. Pizzarelli maintains the same
breezy and likable persona as a guitarist and as a singer. Here he augments
his regular trio ‹ featuring his brother, Martin Pizzarelli, on bass and Ray
Kennedy on piano ‹ with four horn players, to form a group he calls the
Swing 7. (Through Sept. 30.) At 9 and 11 p.m., Birdland, 315 West 44th
Street, Clinton, (212) 581-3080, birdlandjazz.com; cover, $40, with a $10
minimum. (Chinen)

NED ROTHENBERG, DAVID TRONZO AND MARCUS ROJAS (Sunday) Ned Rothenberg is a
saxophonist, clarinetist, flutist and composer with a penchant for insistent
frictions, as he demonstrates on a strong new album, ³The Fell Clutch²
(Animul). His cohorts here are Mr. Rojas, on tuba, and Mr. Tronzo, on
guitar. At 8 p.m., the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village,
thestonenyc.com; cover, $10. (Chinen)

CLARK TERRY QUINTET (Tuesday through Thursday) Clark Terry¹s buoyant trumpet
style and comic vocalizing have long made him one of jazz¹s most beloved
personalities, and at 85 he draws from an extraordinary wealth of jazz
experience. (Through Oct. 1.) At 9 and 11 p.m., Village Vanguard, 178
Seventh Avenue South, at 11th Street, West Village, (212) 255-4037,
villagevanguard.com; cover, $20, with a $10 minimum. (Chinen)

WYNTON AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG¹S HOT FIVES (Thursday) The recordings made by
Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five in Chicago in the 1920¹s are an ageless and
inviolable achievement. So while the order of names in this concert title
suggests some hubris on the part of Wynton Marsalis, he is indeed the person
best suited to give the music a fresh airing. He¹ll be joined by colleagues
like the clarinetist and saxophonist Victor Goines, the trombonists Wycliffe
Gordon and Vincent Gardner, the banjoist Don Vappie and the pianist Jonathan
Batiste. (Through Sept. 30.) At 8 p.m., Frederick P. Rose Hall, Jazz at
Lincoln Center, 60th Street and Broadway, (212) 721-6500, jalc.org; $37.50
to $127.50. (Chinen)
