New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The New York Jazz Workshop presents Jazz duo Ric Frank and
Gordon Radford who will be performing at the Lexington Hotel in New York City on Wednesday,
September 2nd, 2015 from 6:00-8:00pm.
At the Lexington Hotel, the musical collaboration of Ric Frank and
Gordon Radford will lead you into a dreamy magical Manhattan state of mind: Jazz at Sunset and after dark when the City starts to unwind and their music lifts you onto a cloud of melodies and rhythms. Enjoy such beloved tunes as Autumn Leaves; I Love You; A Child is Born;
Willow Weep for Me; plus new favorites. Revel in the expressive piano and horn solos and hear the call and answer of the instruments as they tell you the stories of the songs.
Multi-instrumentalist Ric Frank brings his fluency on flute, saxophone, clarinet, piccolo, and alto flute to the ensemble. In addition to being the leader of the Jambalaya Brass Band (charting nationally on JazzWeek, the CMJ Charts and the
Roots Music Report with 2 CDs), Ric has also performed with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Ray
Santos Caribbean
Music Experience, Rebirth Brass Band, Treme Brass Band, Hot 8 Brass Band, New York City Soul, Steve Getz Quintet, Todd Wolfe, Dallas
Fisher and others as well as a variety of chamber ensembles and territory bands across the country. Ric has recently been honored as an inductee in the New York Blues Hall of Fame and he has been the recipient of two Meet the Composer grants and was the 4th place winner in the Just Plain Folks
Music Awards.
