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!

March 26/27 – Kenny & Joe

Here’s a quick post to give a heads up about a couple of things I’m especially excited about this weekend.

Kenny Washington

Bill Charlap Trio

The Bill Charlap Trio is streaming from Smoke both Friday and Saturday nights! This means we’ll get up close with the great Kenny Washington. Get your tickets here.

Joe Farnsworth

Joe Farnsworth

On Saturday, it’s time to swing with Joe Farnsworth. He’s presenting an online master class in the afternoon. You can sign up and find more info here.

If you can’t make it or if you simply missed Quincy Davis’ interview with Joe, you can find that on Instagram. Quincy has been killing it lately with his Drummer 2 Drummer series and I can barely keep up. So much good stuff over there!

Feed the Second Line

If after all of this you still have money left, please consider donating to Feed the Second Line. They’re doing important work in New Orleans to make sure that the musicians are fed and supported during this time of very limited work.
