Birdland is repeating a celebration of George Avakian's birthday next week. It's his 88th birthday - actually one day in advance - on Wednesday, March 14, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. (No presents; presence only.)
As before, George agreed only because the $10 cover goes to the musicians:
DAVID OSTWALD'S
GULLY LOW JAZZ BAND
(a/k/a Louis Armstrong Centennial Band)
BIRDLAND , 315 West 44th Street , NYC
212-581-3080
David Ostwald's Gully Low Jazz Band: Randy Sandke (trumpet); Wycliffe Gordon (trombone); Joe Muranyi (clarinet); Mark Shayne (piano); Kevin Dorn (drums); David Ostwald (tuba).
It was SRO out to the sidewalk last year, but repeats are never as crowded, so come one, come all.
