About This Event
Trombonist Frank Lacy headlines a set at Ornithology Jazz Club with Luis Perdomo (p), Rudy Royston (d), Sebastián de Urquiza (b) and Ben Solomon (sax). Lacy, whose long tenure with the Mingus Big Band informs his ensemble‑minded approach, favors elastic phrasing and group dialogue. Perdomo’s pianism draws on Venezuelan and Latin sources while de Urquiza, Solomon and Royston provide steady, attentive support.
About Tribute to Sonny Rollins
At Ornithology Jazz Club, “Tribute to Sonny Rollins” frames the saxophonist’s long New York story through live performance rather than nostalgia. Todd Herbert leads a working band with Jeremy Manasia, Jason Clotter, Larry Banks, and Anthony Pearlman, moving through Rollins-associated themes and the hard-edged freedom of his improvising method. Rollins’ bridge practice and downtown-to-uptown presence made him a durable figure in the city’s modern jazz identity. The set’s value is in its discipline: it treats repertoire as material to be tested in real time.
