Dropped in to one of NYCs newest jazz clubs yesterday - JazzCultural on 46th between 8th and 9th!

I have a longstanding and ongoing love for Smalls Jazz Club, as I’ve performed there hundreds of times (including earlier this week), hung there, fellowshiped there, met my fav people, musicians, actors, vocalists, and met many friends who are now family there - it’s home to me.

Owner Spike Wilner extended the community to the West Village’s Mezzrow quite a few years ago, and has done it again, this time in midtown Times Square with the opening of JazzCultural!!

The location is extremely familiar, formerly Swing 46, swing era dance club and music venue, home to many big bands and groups!

A very special location - my first gigs in NYC close to 15 years ago were at this very spot! A somewhat sentimental moment for me and many other musicians, but I have no doubt that JazzCultural will take the space and memories to new heights!

Congrats, Spike, the NYC music community, and visiting musicians and music lovers! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

It’s a beautiful room and sounds phenomenal!

Tonight!! Let’s goooo!!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of leading a quartet of ridiculous cats/colleagues/friends as we celebrated Social Worker Appreciation Month at Northside Center for Child Development!

Very fortunate to work alongside Mariana Yousef in appreciation of her social worker team and solidifying the opportunity for us to perform for some good, music loving folks!
