Nick Rosen was an instrumentalist in Grimes open renascence and also Rosen's colleague at school Joey Dosik was an alto sax. They were all playing, watching and listening to Alex Cline who was drummer. They lifted up their stakes higher as Vinny Golia added his eternally graceful improvisation both on tenor and soprano .Ladies and gentlemen warmly welcomed again by third bassist named Roberto Miguel Miranda in the concert though he was known to be frantically secular low-ender in conception he was motivated by Henry wilderness path and many others over the last 40 years and he performed excellently and this night jazz performance was rated the best concert. The concert had entertained the audience though it was exciting it ended up at dawnWednesday, November 17, 2010This concert took place on November 17th 2010 just after the Cape May Jazz Festival has completed 17 full seasons of its semi-annual jazz weekends. Scores of people who attended were touched and excited by their excellent performance and as a result, their subsequent presentation was at all times fully packed. Though the band was becoming famous, the saddening resignation of festival co-founders Carol Stone and Woody Woodland after being at logger heads for some time with the board of directors was just about to bring a tragedy.The most entertaining part of this festival came to climax with outstanding performances from the Yellow jackets and trumpeter Terell Stafford's band who made highlights on Friday, Tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson's quartet with soul jazz master Les McCann, as well as drummer Ralph Peterson's band mesmerized fans on Saturday. The Saturday jam session was packed with large audience, a sure indication of a good turn out. And it was great to see old friend Winston Byrd, a Delaware native whose trumpet artistry seemed ever-present at the festival before he changed his residence to Los Angeles. The solitary significant problem was the challenging acoustics and some keyboard sound problems for the Jackson-McCann show at Star of the Sea Auditorium. There was no such problem on Friday because the Yellow jackets bring along their own sound wizard. A high-quality engineer who works regularly with the audio needs one band has an edge. He or she knows or rather has an idea of how to turn lemons into lemonade when confronted and for instance in this case - a tired old grammar school gymnasium.At the start of the sea Auditorium a small hitch occurred which involved acoustics and some keyboard sound problems for the Jackson-McCann show as Star whose show was always fantastic. Winston Byrd, a Delaware resident, whose trumpet artistry seemed ever-present at the festival for numerous years before the Sea Auditorium. The yellow jackets bringing along their own wizards there didn't bring much problem on Friday.Jazz in God's living room, Saturday, November 20, 2010Jazz music has been considered by many people as ''the devil music'' for the last ten years. 1ronically Jazz music has gone even further to the extent of performing in churches, an unexpected venue for the performances of this kind of concerts for one reason or the other.It wasn't a surprise when saxophonist Harry Allen's quartet performed in a small church in Warwick RI as they celebrated their 175th anniversary. Allen performed in a style with the superb support from New York rhythm section with Rossano Sportiello playing the piano, Joel Forbes on bass and Chuck Riggs on drums with happiness all over their faces. The concert was just so entertaining as everyone was overjoyed with the people in the first pews struggling to touch the musicians. Allen is a very creative musician who shapes music into something fresh and memorable.Allen carefully selected his band players who finally developed their talents at an alarming rate becoming the best saxophonists more than the musicians we always hear a lot about them like of Ben Webster and a tinge of Stan Getz on Brazilian bossa nova balladry.Pertaining the reading by Allen's of Jobim's "How Insensitive," a scorching romp on Duke Ellington's "Cottontail" and the ballad "Misty," not forgetting the Sportiello's Stride piano segments on "The Lady's In Love with You" and, afterwards, his perfect and highly entertaining display case on "Honeysuckle Rose. ".The concert is a reminder of the late Jones, the mentor of Riggs who tried his level best to mold him into what he is today. The creativity of Allen made him to reproduce Thomas A. Dorsey's 1930s composition "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" as "Precious Lord Thou Art So Hip," with the message to the spectators that they could sing along to No. 678 in their hymnals if they so wished..For budget issues, the festival organizers had to decide not to shuttle fans to the Cape May Regional High School's state-of-the-art, the auditorium a few miles away. It had been the headline site for many years and became a critical venue after the beachfront Cape May Convention Hall was condemned for last two years.This year, many of the consolidated proceedings were within walking distance of the beachfront strip of bars, hotels and dozens of B&BS. And so will be the new Convention Hall, which is expected to open sometime in 2012, in time for at least one of that year's festivals. It was perfectly in order that the 34th CMJF program book incorporated a photo of the founders. There was no other visibility given to Carol Woody, nor were they ever acknowledged publicly for 16.5 years for making it better than it was.
Live Jazz: Cheryl Bentyne atVitello'sThe third most exciting event occurred in October 31st which was a live jazz by Cheryl Bentyne at Vitello's on Thursday night. None of all the people in attendance could have words to describe how superb and mesmerizing the performance was. Though a single soloist, and with many people having less quest for her music knowing Bentyne's long tenure with Manhattan transfer she nearly retrogressed. Trying all she can do get back to line of success Bentyne used all the sophisticated theatrical ability she had developed in her life with the transfer as the basis to build on the best she had already achieved. Being in the spotlight and coming up as a preferred artist by scores of people Bentyne, after total reformation released a brand new album, The Gershwin Songbook.There was plenty of Gershwin on the agenda. An opening mixture of "Fascinating Rhythm" and "I Got Rhythm" that tossed the melody in wild meanderings through the - of course - rhythm. "S'Wonderful" was performed in an irresistible groove, with bassist Reggie Hamilton and drummer Dave Tull giving the supercharged engine power. Some delightful interplay with guest singer Mark Winkler on "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off." The core version of "How Long Has This Been Going On?" was performed with the sole help of Bentyne's husband, Corey Allen, playing rollicking ragtime piano.To top it up, there was a beautiful, inconspicuous but emotionally layered reading of Cole Porter's "Every Time We Say Goodbye" improved by Doug Webb's similar to tenor saxophone solo. Possibly the most excellent performance by Bentyne'' Something cool'' was the most emotional live entertainment by Billy Barnes in 1954.Live Jazz: Jack Sheldon's Birthday Bash at Catalina Bar &GrillJack Sheldon performed live jazz on his own birthday party on 7 November 2010 on Saturday night at Catalina Bar and Grill at 9.00p.m in Los Angeles.

The audience demanded a lot from him that night since he bandleader and also host of the bash. They were entertained that night Ray Brinker who was a family member but a beginner drummer in the jazz concert. The drums harmonized rattles and rolls but matched a class of singers; though he was completely different from other band members regardless he performed as tutti or soli.Many audiences wished they had heard from him after Ron Stout had received a marvelous adept trumpet solos .In addition Brinker acted as his role model while Stan Martin presented Jack a romantic bouquet which he had received from Beauty and Beast set apparently he was wished-for several silver haired presents from his grandparent. Jack Sheldon performed with his hoarse vocals although no tunes rocked up to date could be compared to band that seniors had performed in that concert. Sheldon deviously concentrated on Whitman as he played his trombonists Juan Tizol typical. The band was declared to be common voice though it was loud it purposed immediately to excite great elderly charmers. All people who attended the concert assisted bassist Bruce letts and also pianist Joe Bagg. The bash ended at midnight after several listeners had presented birthday present to performer of jazz Jack Sheldon and they all departed from the Catalina Bar.
