Gerald Cannon Quartet live streaming from Small's, NYC - May 8

Justin Robinson (alto sax); Rick Germanson (piano); Gerald Cannon (double bass); Willie Jones (drums) + Michael Rörby (trombone) 

Gerald Cannon hails from Racine, Wisconsin, home to one of America's two annual Bix Fest celebrations. Meeting Milt Hinton proved pivotal and in time the lure of New York City would set him on a career path working with some of the great names in jazz, including touring with McCoy Tyner (in 2008 Sage Gateshead was on the itinerary). 

This Saturday evening set list at Spike Wilner's place ranged across original composition to a Thad Jones' chart to a couple of standards - You Don't Know What Love Is and Peri's Scope - to a 'rhythm changes' finale with guest, trombonist Michael Rörby joining the party. Russell
