Sistas' Place, where Jazz: A Music of the Spirit Lives and Culture is a Weapon, continues its 17th season with the Bruce Cox Ensemble featuring trumpeter James Zollar, saxophonist Abraham Burton, pianist James Weidman, bassist Eric Lemon and drummer Bruce Cox, Saturday, January 28th, 2012 @ 9 and 10:30pm.
Master Drummer Bruce Cox has performed at Sistas' Place many times with various groups. Over the years Mr. Cox has distinguished himself as the drummer of choice for many great musicians. This Saturday, however, he will step up to the plate and lead a band. The group he has assembled is a excellent one filled with top musicians (James Zollar, James Weidman and Eric Lemon), who have also worked many times at this venue.
Abraham Burton is the exception in that he will be performing at Sistas' Place for the first time. His ability as a thoroughly gifted saxophonist with a distinctive style is well known. To hear him with this group with Bruce Cox at the helm will be a delight. If the word gets out about this group I'm sure you will need to make reservations!
Don't Miss It!
Call 718 398-1766 for reservations. Admission $20 with reservations/$25 at the door.

break from touring with the great musical "Fela." Along with Alex will be D.D. Jackson, Radu and Reggie Nicholson keeping a strong rhythmic groove. As well, vocalist Miles Griffith will add his powerful lungs to the mix that will also include the vocals and poetry of Monique Ngozi Nri and the poetry of Louis Reyes Rivera.
