October HHJ Magazine
September often signals the onset of Fall for many, but it remains technically summer, extending the vibrant summer jazz festival scene. This is indeed a sizzling month! Major institutions like Lincoln Center, NJPAC, Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, and 92NY are launching phenomenal new seasons. At the same time, clubs continue to showcase electrifying performances while NYC Summerstage and JazzMobile keep Marcus Garvey Park alive with rhythm.
One standout is Christian McBride's big band, whose new Swing (we dubbed "New Jack Swing") evokes the golden days of the Swing Era. It makes one ponder what those historic clubs were like. In this issue, we delve into research on the legendary Half Note Jazz Club and feature a heartwarming interview with the immensely talented Dianne Reeves. We also celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with an engaging interview with Bobby Sanabria. Enjoy this issue and the remaining summer days!
