Jazz Right Now Featuring Photos by Peter Gannushkin
I recently added a number of photos to my site. I am very happy and proud to feature the photography of Peter Gannushkin. For more of his work, please see www.downtownmusic.net
Correction: Denver General
In an earlier post, Jazz Right Now attributed the band Denver General exclusively to trumpeter Kirk Knuffke which was a mistake. The band is the collaborative work of all three members: Kirk Knuffke, Jonathan Goldberger, and Jeff Davis. My apologies!
OutNow Music Nights series at Muchmore’s
An exciting series of shows curated by Yoni Kretzmer are taking place on Monday nights in June and July at Muchmore’s in Williamsburg–they have been added to the site’s concert listings. Hopefully good attendance will facilitate further shows at the club.
