"Third Thursdays" monthly jazz series host Dave Bryant (keyboardist) has announced that trumpeter Russ Johnson (Lee Konitz, Steve Swallow, Bill Frisell) and alto saxophonist Eric Person (Ronald Shannon Jackson, Dave Holland, McCoy Tyner), along with Hill Greene (bass) and James Kamal Jones (drums) will join him for an evening of new pieces created for an upcoming recording by the quintet. This will be the debut performance together of these remarkable and accomplished musicians.
Dave notes that: "As we continue to expand our reach to more musicians outside the Boston area, I'm excited to reconnect with two very distinguished colleagues, Russ Johnson and Eric Person, for their first performance together, along with 'Third Thursdays' favorites Hill Greene and James Kamal Jones."
Admission at the door: $10 (cash / check / charge / venmo). Complimentary “Third Thursdays” concert parking is available at the Everett Street Garage at 10 Everett Street in Cambridge.
Monthly "Third Thursdays" performances have all been video recorded, with the goal of documenting Ornette Coleman's impact on the free jazz movement. Another key purpose of the series is to document the experiences, reminiscences, and musical contributions of members of Coleman's bands. All videos, including interviews with Bryant's former Coleman colleagues, are available at dbryantmusic.com/third-thursdays, dbryantmusic.com/musician-interviews, and on youtube.com/@davebryantmusic/videos.
