JRAD and Brandford

Forums:

Wish I was on the East Coast for this one. 

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Kamasi Washington will not be performing his planned sets at the @Newport Jazz Festival on Friday August 4. Fortunately, our friend and certified legend, the one and only Branford Marsalis, will be joining the celebration with his own set, as well as joining JRAD for a closing set that is sure to be one for the ages.

Eh. He's a good player, but over-rated.

And JRAD doesn't need no saxaphone. It just slows 'em down.

Branford and Wynton Marsalis get their names consistently spelled wrong more than any other high profile musicians I can recall.

I will be there, can't wait

Such a beautiful place to see music if they haven't changed the location. Nothing but good memories of sitting on the bay listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie. That gives you and idea of how long it's been since I've been there.  

I think that Marco and Branford will have something to add to the conversation. Have fun. 

I would go.  Sounds like fun.   And I bet JRAD with sax for a night will be just fine.  

I call Lovelight!

 

Not sure if Branford is a petal to the mettle kind of guy

as JRAD can be

but they're all pros so I'm sure they'll finger it out

(all misspells are on porpoise for your Zoning pleasure)

Of course the weather looks shitty, kinda been the story this year at outdoor shows in the new england region, gonna buckle up and hope for the best

Can't wait to hear this one...

Never underestimate a Marsalis

Thanks for posting.   I'm enjoying.   They should start a new band called Jradarsalis Rex

Full set, good sound, dizzying video. I thought Branford was a good match for JRAD, probably better than Kamasi would have been.

Agreed.  I'd go see this band.  Better than the last two Jrad shows I've seen. Gave it some balance
