Last week I had the pleasure of playing the music of Sun Ra with Orrin Evan’s Captain Black Big Band at Dizzy’s Coca-Cola Club in New York. We had a BALL, to say the least! Six stellar shows, 14 amazing musicians and lots of friends in the audience made for an amazing week in New York. Personnel: Orrin Evans (piano), Luques Curtis (bass), Nasheet Waits (drums), Josh Lawrence, Thomas Marriott & August Hass (trumpets), Mark Allan, Troy Roberts, Todd Bayshore, Tim Green, Marcus Strickland (saxophones), David Gibson, Stafford Hunter (trombones).
