[Dixielandjazz] Jazz at Lincoln Center

[Steve Barbone]

The Jazz Jam "Red Hot Holiday Stomp" was sold out at the Rose Theater in
Lincoln Center these past 2 days, but you can see a part of it on PBS TV,
LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER, Monday, December 10. In the Eastern USA, the time
is 8 PM. Check your local listings.

But also make a note that on January 11 & 12, 2008, the Hall of Fame Concert
series at Lincoln Center will present "Kings of the Crescent City". Check
the second paragraph below for that stellar line up.

Both programs include some great jazz musicians who swing their butts off
and should put to rest the idea that black jazzers today don't play OKOM.

Cheers,
Steve


Jazz Jam 
Red Hot Holiday Stomp

Thu-Fri, Dec 6-7, 8pm; Sat, Dec. 8, 2pm & 8pm - Rose Theater

By popular demand... You roll up on the North Pole in a red '56 Cadillac.
You sport red tweed vines, red suede shoes, a white mink tie and sing those
"Arctic Basin Street Blues." Then you're greeted by a swingin' combo of
elves in red pork-pie hats, and that's when you know there's only one place
you can be‹a Wynton Wonderland‹a world where joyous music meets comic
storytelling. Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe "Pinecone" Gordon, Wess "Warmdaddy"
Anderson, Victor Goines, Joe Temperley, "Papa" Don Vappie, Reginald Veal,
Dan Nimmer, Herlin Riley and Roberta Gumbel rile the reindeer with new
arrangements of holiday classics swung with Crescent City style. Bells,
baby. Bells.

You let les bon temps rouler! You nod your horn and the second line swells,
dark brown and poor white, stevedore and socialite, church-goers and high
rollers steady struttin' hip to hip. Join masterful JLCO reedman Victor
Goines and a front line of hard-swinging Crescent City sons featuring Troy
"Trombone Shorty" Andrews, "Papa" Don Vappie, Jonathan Batiste, Reginald
Veal, Herlin Riley and N'Awlins neighbors Wycliffe Gordon and JLCO trumpeter
Marcus Printup, as they let the good times roll in the timeless tradition of
Satchmo, Jelly Roll, King Oliver and Sidney Bechet.
