More Free Music..Well Almost...

In Brooklyn, at Prospect Park, they have a concert series called Celebrate Brooklyn which has been around for years. It is free, but they suggest you give at least $3...more if you want..at the gate to keep it great as they say. Still dirt cheap, and they have all kinds of events. This past Friday, they had 2 piano trios, Jason Moran's Bamdwagon and The Bad Plus. It was a battle of the bands, so we all thought one would play, then the other etc. They played simultaneously and it was fantastic. The headliner was The Roy Hargrove Quintet. He was most excellent. Those guys were just phenominal musicians.
Next show I go to this Wednesday, won't be so cheap, but it should be fantastic.
Stay tuned.....
