Had a nice time at the JJA Awards yesterday. I brought my camera, but forgot the flash, so the only pictures I got were outside of City Winery. Luckily, I ran into some incredible musicians out there.
Sabir Mateen with Roswell Rudd
William Parker and Muhal Richard Abrams
Thanks to Howard Mandel and everyone at in the JJA for keeping up this great annual event.

saxophonist in the first photo is Sabir Mateen.
btw the second photo is very good.
Thanks for the kind word, and the ID on Sabir Mateen. I love his playing, but had never seen him in person. Just made the correction.
