About Spanish Fly
“Spanish Fly” at Red Rooster Harlem refers not to the 1975 British-Spanish film of the same name, but to a live set grounded in jazz while borrowing freely from rock and pop vocabulary. Featuring pianist-composer Ray Angry alongside chef-host Marcus Samuelsson, the program frames Angry’s writing as the spine of a club-band conversation, where groove and harmony do equal work. No documented NYC premiere history is widely cited for this configuration. Still, it reflects a Harlem tradition of genre-mixing as civic culture, not branding.
