Hi,
last year during Montreal Jazz Fest, I had a chance to meet with Mr. Benny Golson.
The young musicians accompanied him were just simply amazing.
Between the 2 concerts I talked with Emmet Cohen (piano), since that I got the news about his activities on music scene.
And listened his performnces... since COVID time (April) he organized his weekly live streaming with his trio and often inviting different musicians.
I watched some of them and always loved it...

2 weeks ago the trio returned from European Tour (Italy, Austria, Germany and Switzerland) all concerts were sold out.
I loved to hear and watch that such activities went uniterrupted and well organized.

Say truth, I had the intention to introduce Emmet and his trio here on TOTM earilier... but after listening this clip I do share the link and hope it will be interesting.
Worth to say that Emmet has a recognition in Jazz world. He played and recorded with legends like Ron Carter, Jimmy Cobb, Benny Golson and others and has some awards.
But I have no any intention to promote ... just suggest to listen all wonderfull musicians in this performance from Emmet Place (he does this without missing any Monday since COVID period).
Of course your opinion of every musician would be interesting. For me each of them has his "face" and together they do JAZZ great again.

So here we go... super "Night in Tunisia".

Best.
Michael.

today with :

Mark Whitfield graduated from Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music, the world's foremost institution for the study of Jazz and modern American music in the spring of 1987. Shortly thereafter, he returned to his to his native New York to embark on a career as a Jazz Guitarist that afforded him the opportunity to collaborate with legendary artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Carmen McRae, Gladys Knight, Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Smith, Clark Terry, Shirley Horn, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Joe Williams, Stanley Turrentine and his greatest teacher and mentor George Benson.

In 1990 the New York Times dubbed Whitfield "The Best Young Guitarist in the Business". Later that year, Warner Bros. released his debut album "The Marksman". The success of his debut release led to a recording career that has produced a total of 14 solo recordings and a myriad of collaborative efforts with some of the most important artists in recent years; Sting, Steven Tyler, D'Angelo, Mary J. Blige, John Mayer, Chaka Khan, Jill Scott, Diana Krall, Christian McBride, Chris Botti, Roy Hargrove and Nicholas Payton.
