"Three crucial facts. One, the quotation comes from tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, and I and others believe it like a gospel. I also think of it as a prayer, a benediction, and a low bow. Two, the three musicians celebrated here are Dan Block, tenor saxophone and clarinet; Robert Redd, piano; Sean Smith, double bass. Subtle alchemists, humane transformationalists through vibration of the best kind."
"Three, they will be playing again this coming Wednesday, January 7, at Cafe Ornithology, 1037 Broadway at Suydam Street, Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York City, beginning at 7:30 PM for two extended sets. Here are some selections from their first set of October 30: and two extended explorations from the second set: PICK YOURSELF UP and THE MAN I LOVE: PICK YOURSELF UP on Wednesday, January 7, and get to Cafe Ornithology, a truly welcoming place. May your happiness increase!"
