Awesome Kirk MacDonald Quartet: Music on Jazz at Lincoln Center:
Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola is proud to host the album release party of Kirk MacDonald’s Vista Obscura, an album that just won a 2015 Juno Award (the “Canadian Grammy”) for “Best Jazz Recording Solo Artist.” It’s a major feat, and expectations are high for this performance. The band is comprised of similarly prolific musicians, including Harold Mabern, Neil Swainson, and Andre White. The album features mostly originals, for which MacDonald is well known, plus two Coltrane compositions. The new compositions were written with this extraordinary band in mind and will appeal to jazz fans across the board.
