Jazz Club Pod Filarami Gorzów - Ed Cherry Special Trio

Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Ed Cherry moved to New York in 1978 to play guitar with Dizzy Gillespie from 1978 to 1992 performing in Gillespie's quartet, big band and with The United Nation Orchestra. In addition to his stellar work as a sideman and as a critically acclaimed leader, Ed Cherry also has impressive credentials as a music educator. He taught guitar at Essex Community College in Newark, NJ from 1995 to 1996, and at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City from 1996 to 1997. He was also a faculty member at Montclair State University, School of Fine and Performing Arts for J.O.Y. (Jazz Opportunity for Youth). 

Here in Gorzow he played with his new Trio together with Adam Kowalewski (bass) and Ark Skolik (drums).

Magnetoffon - Jachna/Mazurkiewicz/Buhl

Since two weeks I attend on the weekends a - for me - new club in Gorzów, the 'Magnetoffon', very nice location, friendly audience and great concerts. The club is located on the backside of the beautiful former 'Volksbad'. 

This weekend a Polish Jazz trio comprising of trumpeter Wojciech Jachna, bassist Jacek Mazurkiewicz and drummer Jacek Buhl played a mixture of Jazz and improvised music with electronic effects from their new album 'Dźwięki Ukryte'. 

As the stage room is very dark and I do not use flash lights, all photos are shot with ISO 25600. This is the highest ISO on the Canon 5D III, as lens I used the EF Macro 2.8/100 L IS USM. The high ISO brings much grain to the photos, which makes them looking somehow film-like. I converted them to black and white, because otherwiese they would have been very red, like the one unchanged photo at the beginning. The B/W conversion gives additional old fashioned impression.
