Two weeks of "birthday guests" so there lot's of music.
There’s sad news, this week. I don’t know how many listeners heard about the commuter plane crash in Buffalo on Thursday night. All the people on board and one person on the ground were killed. The plane was carrying two members of Chuck Mangione’s band, Gerry Niewood and Coleman Mallet.
Their names may not be familiar to you but you’ve heard Gerry on countless recordings: Simon & Garfunkel in Central Park, Sinead O’Connor’s first album, Chuck Mangione’s first three albums and of course, here, when we play Wilmer Alexander & The Dukes.
FNST extends our sympathies to the families and the greater Rochester New York jazz family for this loss.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Facebook. We look forward to seeing even more people join.
