Joe Farnsworth at the Dakota

If you follow me on Instagram you’ve seen that I often post from the Dakota jazz club in Minneapolis. I live very close.

There aren’t many seats in the club that don’t have a decent view of the stage, but they have screens around the club with a live feed for anyone that wants a better view.

I’ve always wished that they’d release some of those videos and my wish has been granted!

Check out both sets from Emmet Cohen’s time there a couple of weeks ago. I suspect that Emmet twisted their arm to get the footage since he’s so popular and savvy with social media. Enjoy!

Kweku Sumbry in concert

Seeing Kweku Sumbry on drums with Immanuel Wilkins earlier this year was incredibly inspiring and memorable. I think about that concert a lot and if you heard my interview with Colin Stranahan you heard me geeking out about it. Kweku is such a special player.

The rest of Immanuel’s group is fantastic as well. Micah Thomas is an incredibly gifted piano player who I’ve seen perform as part of Billy Drummond’s Freedom of Ideas. Bassist Rick Rosato has a great group with Colin Stranahan and Glenn Zeleski. Their “Live at the Jazz Standard” album from a few years ago is one I still put on.

While catching up on YouTube the other night I was thrilled to discover a recent Immanuel Wilkins Quartet show from Amsterdam that’s available thanks to Bimhuis. The quality of their streams is excellent. I hope you enjoy this group as much as I do.

Jazz Gallery Summer Pass

Here’s a quick plug for The Jazz Gallery Summer Pass. It’s just $60 and gets you either a seat in person or a free streaming pass for all shows in July and August 2023.

Not only is this a great deal (streaming passes are usually $20 per show) but the list of shows and musicians is pretty exciting. I’ll just list a handful of the drummers you’ll be able to check out: Dan Weiss, Brian Blade, JK Kim, Miguel Russell, Adam Cruz, Nasheet Waits, Kayvon Gordon, Jimmy Macbride, and many others.

Don’t miss out on this deal.

This is NOT a sponsored post. I’m just really excited about Jazz Gallery’s summer programming.
