Jazz Back In Harlem - A Steelpan Affair - Video
The Garvin Blake Quintet at the Uptown Renaissance Restaurant
In Review



Harlem, New York -

In the stomping grounds of where just one name of the jazz greats are
needed - i.e. Bird, Max, Miles, Coltrane, Dizzy, Basie and Duke among
others - Garvin Blake and his quintet brought us back to an era when
jazz and blues reigned supreme uptown, in Harlem. The group is also
known as the Garvin Blake Ensemble, and Garvin Blake and Friends. The
much-anticipated gig has been the buzz of the town the last few days
as NYC jazz fans scurried to get advance tickets to the show.

Sunday's Pan Jazz event at the restaurant was completely sold-out.
The Uptown crowd at the Renaissance Restaurant was not disappointed.
Garvin Blake and his complement of stellar musicians (Frankie
McIntosh, Damon Duewhite, Calvin Jones and Tony Cedras) in their own
right, moved with the spirit of the great ones as they treated the
audience to a jazz music performance that was befitting of the
historical musical significance of hallowed Harlem ground they were
on... This capacity crowd was treated to a special moment.
