At Blue Note with Pierre

Yesterday, the same night when Aliya Bonar opened the show PowerSuit Camp, Pierre invited me to see bassist Ron Carter and his quartet live at Blue Note.

Ron Carter is a legend! He played with Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock in the 60s, these are the two I know best, but the list of collaborators goes on! Ron Carter is old, very old.

This video is from 1967:


When we got to Blue Note in Greenwich Village I noticed the sign on the building, it said "Jazz Capital of the World", later I came to understand why.

At this night's concert Ron Carter played with pianist Renee Rosnes, Payton Crossley on drums and Rolando Morales-Matos on percussion.







 



When I got home I was overwhelmed with joy, what an amazing night!


About the Blue Note:

"Since its inception in 1981, Blue Note has become one of the premier jazz clubs in the world and a cultural institution in Greenwich Village. Owner and founder Danny Bensusan had a vision to create a jazz club in Greenwich Village that would treat deserving artists with respect, while allowing patrons to see the world's finest jazz musicians in a close, comfortable setting. (...) Jazz is undoubtedly America's music, and while Blue Note strives to preserve the history of jazz, the club is a place where progression and innovation - the foundations of jazz - are encouraged and practiced on a nightly basis. (...) Blue Note gives artists the musical freedom they deserve, and jazz fans get a chance to see the most unlikely combination of stars night after night on the Blue Note stage.
After twenty-five years of success, Blue Note continues to carry the torch for jazz into the 21st century in the cultural heart of New York, Greenwich Village.
