Dear Friends,
A fabulous evening a jazz! If you missed the July 25 jazz event, don't miss the next event on August 22 when Parker and friends return to delight and inspire us.
Four exceptional young musicians: Johhnie Mercier, piano, Parker McAllister, bass, Travis Antoine, trumpet, and Manny Laine, drums. All in their late teens to mid 20's and have taken on classical jazz and bumped it up to their own style of swing and bop. Young people playing classical jazz in this day and age--it was great!
We also had 2 surprise artists: John Polite, trumpet; and the extroadinary jazz and gospel vocalist, Ndelka Prescod, who delighted guests with a beautifully lyrical rendition of "Round Midnight." The audience loved Nedelka, who leads her own music group, Conscious Uprising.
Long-time jazz lovers, along with newer jazz lovers gathered to hear great music in a beautiful gallery setting for mutual love of art, music, and life. Please join us next time and support our new young artists.
I can go on and on, but I'm getting ready to go on vacation tomorrow. (Yea! my sister and I are taking a sister-trip of sun, books, and sleep.) Thanks so much to all of the generous supporters of the Parlor Gallery.
Best wishes,
Sheila
We had a great time. Those young men were awesome!
