Another treat from Boxing Day 2019, at 15 Barrow Street, New York.
by these Creators: Eddy Davis, banjo; Conal Fowkes, string bass; Jon-Erik Kellso, trumpet; Evan Arntzen, clarinet and tenor saxophone.
Eddy Davis and Conal Fowkes, Cafe Bohemia, Dec. 26, 2019.
and, from a slightly different vantage, the Quartet for that night —
This beautiful joyous-sad evening seems so many years ago. Eddy Davis moved to another neighborhood, much to our sadness; Cafe Bohemia has become quiet for the uncertain future. But Jon-Erik Kellso, trumpet, Evan Arntzen, clarinet and tenor saxophone, and Conal Fowkes, string bass, are afloat and we hope to embrace them when the world seems less threatening. Until that happens, savor their groovy version of Artie Matthews’ WEARY BLUES, and use it wisely, so that it will keep weariness away from you.
And wait for the real ending!
In case you missed the postings devoted to that night, here is some more music. And here and here.
May your happiness increase!
