Jazz Guitarist, Saul Rubin, has been a New York city fixture for years playing with some of the legends of the music. The album / CD cover displayed on the Left here, represents his latest work as it now hits the wider record / CD market nationally. Here Rubin is the leader of this remarkable gathering of Jazz notables which include Montez Coleman, on Drums; Gerald Cannon, on Bass; and the ledgendary and, sadly, late John Hicks, on Piano. This session may well be one of Hick's last recorded output. This recording? It is a lovely album with four out of the seven tracks compositions penned by Rubin himself. Rubin is known mostly in Jazz circles as a reliable studio and session man, who lays down amazing licks with precision. He's doing it again for the next few weeks at the Jazz Gallery, with Trumpeter Roy Grove's Big Band.
The Jazz Gallery is that little-known center of Jazz Art and photos which doubles as an intimate performance space on the western edge of Soho in New York City. Do check out Saul Rubin's new CD and make it a point to see him in performance with the Hargrove band.
The Roy Hargrove Big Band can be seen Tuesday evenings at the Jazz Gallery on the following dates. February 20th, February 27th and March 6th. There are two sets each night. 9 pm and 10:30 pm Don't miss it.
Here is some information about how to do that.....
