I’ll be hosting the Jazz Jam at the Crystal Saloon this evening from 8 to 11PM. We had a great crowd last time, and some brand new players and singers who jumped right in! Some more surprises expected tonight as well. If you’re a player, feel free to come down and jam; if you’re a fan or a casual listener, there’s no better place to be! See you tonight!

Hey friends, I'm up in Anchorage this week, playing at the Spenard Jazz Festival. Lenny Pickett, of Saturday Night Live and Tower of Power fame, is the guest artist this year. I'll be playing in his band this coming Saturday, doing tunes from both the SNL and TOP repertoire. Rehearsals have been great, and it should be an amazing finale. I'll also be playing a set of my own material on Saturday, as well as sitting in with Seward's Elite 9, and additionally with my friends Rick Zelinski and Yngvil Vatn Guttu. If you're in town please come on by, there's great music Thursday night, Friday night, and all day Saturday.

In the 1920s, during the heyday of the Cotton Club and just as Duke's star began to rise, he purchased this piano- manufactured by Kramer- and had it delivered to his home at 381 Edgecombe Avenue in Harlem. Duke used the piano extensively through the late 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, one of the most cre…
