Our favorite folks at the downtown record store have a full slate of in-store performances scheduled for the next ten days. They take off on Jazz Fest days, but the fun begins on Thursday.
The performances begin at noon with trombonist and Where Y’At magazine cover boy Glen David Andrews (pictured) and continue on the hour until 7 PM when the Royal Southern Brotherhood will be concluding their set. In between expect to see Joe Krown, Sarah Quintana. Little Freddie King, the Soul Rebels and the Young Pinstripe Brass Band.
The Soul Rebels are a must-see if you can’t stay for the whole day. They are on a hot stretch since releasing their newest record on Rounder Records. I am also excited about the Royal Southern Brotherhood. This is Cyril Neville’s latest project and I missed then at the French Quarter Fest.
Finally, the Young Pinstripe is on fire. I have seen them several times playing for second line parades and they bring that youthful energy. I am sure following the Rebels will have them even more fired up.
For your Thursday nighttime activities, you can’t go wrong heading to the Blue Nile. Stanton Moore, Robert Walter and Will Bernard have recorded together in various combinations with each as the leader. The last time I saw them, Will was the ostensible headliner, but all three positively smoked.
Tomorrow my picks for the first day of the fest!
