Another returning Band member, who for a number of years now has been a member of Kool and the Gang, is Trombonist Clifford Adams. On Trumpet is the new star on the horizon; Josh Evans.

Jammin’ on the Hudson anticipates an outstanding Event; Mickey Bass & ‘The Co-Operation’, Featuring Bryan Carrott.

“When Mickey Bass & The Co-Operation get in the right groove, the right groove being a loose, driving, up-tempo, it is doubtful if there is another Jazz group in town that swings as hard as this one.”

Our Season 'kicks-off' on Sunday July 12th with....a Legendary vocalist who once stood in for the one-and-only "Lady Day" (Ms. Billie Holiday) at The Apollo; quite a feat, especially at that time; for a white woman to step out onto that 'hallowed' turf in the midst of Harlem! Following the success of this event, she then began to be greatly, and widely revered. As one of the original members of a group who epitomised 'vocalese' she once penned lyrics to a famous tenor saxophone solo by Wardell Gray; "Twisted". She was one third of this one-of-a-kind vocal ensemble called Lambert, Hendricks and she is the very special Ms. Annie Ross. Ms. Ross was recently informed that she will be a recipient of a 2010 N.E.A."Jazz Masters" Award, this month she will be inducted into the ASCAP Jazz Wall of Fame, at Lincoln Center. This July 12th "Jammin' On The Hudson" will have the priviledge of Presenting; Ms. Annie Ross. This is one Event not to be missed!
