THE JOINT WAS JUMPIN'!!! Gratitude, respect, admiration are just some of the words included in the definition of TRIBUTE . This past Saturday night June 22, 2019 at Sharp Nine Gallery in Durham, NC a happening took place which deserves all of the positive words - big and small - that the dictionary provides. Kobie Watson's leadership and playing - He pulled together the absolute right musicians to perform Art Blakey's stuff. The musicians - to a person - made the audience feel like we were participants in a great big joyous party and that we all should be having a ball, because they surely were!!! Thank you musicians - Kobie Watkins drums/leader, Brian Horton tenor sax,
Christian Tambour piano, Wes Parker trombone, Ryan Nielsen trumpet, Jason Fourman bass. The Sharp Nine facility provided the wonderful acoustics and the staff attentiveness to details. They kept things rolling even with the overflow audience. And the audience! This was one of the hippest audiences I've had the pleasure of being part of in while. We knew when and how to applaud. We also knew when and how to talk and to keep quiet. As I said, THE JOINT AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS EVENT WAS JUMPING!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I hope the next one of these great happenings is already scheduled.
