DESCRIPTION:
As part of the New York Hot Jazz Festival, Gordon Au and the Grand Street Stompers played / sang two sets at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola on Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Here are two highlights: Gordon's own RIDGEWOOD STOMP, and Tamar Korn's ecstatic performance of DO THE NEW YORK. The band was Gordon, trumpet, arrangements, compositions; Josh Holcomb, trombone; Matt Koza, clarinet / soprano saxophone (subbing for the temporarily under-the-weather Dennis Lichtman); Nick Russo, banjo / guitar; Andrew Hall, string bass; Rob Garcia, drums, with vocals by Tamar and by Molly Ryan. Recorded by Michael Steinman for JAZZ LIVES (http://www.jazzlives.wordpress.com).
