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!
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.
I recently added profiles for Peter Evans, C. Spencer Yeh, Weasel Walter, Mike Pride, and Matt Pavolka.
