A couple of jazz brass players were recently mentioned in seperate items by our hometown newspaper. Post-Dispatch pop critic Kevin Johnson had a nice feature a few days ago highlighting the latest release from trombonist, keyboardist and producer Lamar Harris, whose music would seem to bring together elements of funk, smooth jazz and neo-soul.
Meanwhile Post gossip columnist Deb Peterson has a brief item about trumpeter Jeremy Davenport - or more specifically, his recent purchase of a new Lotus Elan sports car that turned out to be a lemon. No word on what Davenport's driving now, though, and we'll let you you make up your own joke involving comparisons with jazz musicians who can't even afford a decent used car. One more thing: contrary to Ms. Peterson's assertion in the story, I believe Davenport's three-month house gig at Busch's Grove doesn't start until next week. He'll be found at Jazz at the Bistro this week.
