Boyd's Blues CD release concert / Video New York Times (photo credit-- Sharon Cantillon) |
It was once said that Buffalonians know good music. We are home to the famed Colored Musicians Club that routinely hosted jam sessions featuring Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and (featured above) Boyd Lee Dunlop. I had the pleasure of attending Dunlop's CD release concert at Hallwalls earlier this month (if the picture were a bit larger my head would be in the right hand corner behind drummer Virgil Day). Dunlop's story is deep and endearing so I was pleased to be invited to attend by my favorite musician bass player Mr. Sabu Adeyola. His talent is a vintage luxury.
