THE SHED TONIGHT SHAQUIM, AUTUMN (& RAINA, ??)

Comments below from THE SHED

Saxophonist Shaquim Muldrow commands the stage with a classic tenor sound and a musical sensitivity beyond his years. Equally at home playing ballads or uptempo swing, he is gaining prominence as one of the young musicians responsible for the revival of jazz and swing music in the Triangle. Joined at the SHED by vocalist Autumn Rainey, pianist Andrew Berinson, bassist Gen Palmer, and drummer Theous Jones, this will be an evening of jazz sure to please the most discerning of ears. First set 8 PM, second set around 9:30. $7 cover or $5 w/ student ID

MY TAKE  - THIS SHOULD BE "NICE!"  ED

The following are my comments  DO NOT MISS THIS!!!  I had the pleasure of hearing these folks at Sharp 9 on this past Saturday, July 30, 2016.  THEY SMOKED!!!  Being in this Durham & environs jazz reservoir and being able to catch this kind of quality performance on a Tuesday night for $7.00 is worthy of a special thanks to all involved with making it happen!!!  

And while I'm thanking folks, let me just extend my thanks to all the venue folks - You just keep doing it better and better and better!!!  THANKS!!!     Ed Furtick, Jr. & Ellen Friedland (EF2)
