Information: a tribute to cultural arts promoter/activist, Mr. Cedric Rose. He has been diligent in giving a platform to many artists in the music, theater and dance industries. He also orchestrated and managed to re-enliven jazz music history with having a photo shoot of everyone currently in jazz in front of Mintons Playhouse, as it was historically done during the Harlem Renaissance.
There are many people Mr. Rose helped to propel their career directly or peripherally. Therefore, this tribute is most deserving for his long and dedicated work in the arts community and his love for all the people involved.

Musicians: Jazz legend Carmen Lundy makes her first appearance ever at The Blue Note on September 21 & 22, 2010. Ms. Lundy will bring her show “The Carmen Lundy Songbook Experience” east from California to the streets and thoroughfares of New York City. Ms. Lundy will be featured on vocals and joining her for the Blue Note engagement will be a trio consisting of Anthony Wonsey on piano, Darryl Hall on bass, and Jamison Ross on drums. Ms. Lundy says of the engagement, “I am very excited about my upcoming dates at The Blue Note. It’s always been a dream of mine to play The Blue Note because it provides one of the most intimate settings for both vocalist and music lover.”
Information: New York City is a beacon, a magnet, an oasis of culture. To many, it is The Center Of It All.
For tourists; it’s the Statue Of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the sad ghostly space of the World Trade Center. For artists and art fans it’s the Guggenheim, the Museum Of Modern Art, the allure of the streets that Andy Warhol walked. For lovers of literature it’s the Strand Book Store, the New York Public Library, the Algonquin Hotel. Oh, but for music fans it might be the best place of all: for classical buffs it’s Lincoln Center For The Performing Arts, the Metropolitan Opera; for popular music fans it’s Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden; for rockers the sadly defunct Bottom Line and CBGB’s, now replaced by the Living Room and The Kitchen; and maybe best of all, for the jazz aficionado there is The Blue Note.
Although The Blue Note first opened its doors at the dawn of the 1980’s it carries the resonance of a longtime fixture of the New York City jazz scene. As one of the Blue Note’s managers says simply of what is arguably the world’s most popular jazz club, “This is it.” This is it, indeed. Jazz legends that had left clubs behind for the concert stage decades before – Sarah Vaughn, Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown – soon rediscovered a home at The Blue Note; delighting in its intimacy, honoring and valuing the performer’s proximity to the true jazz fan. More recent additions to the rich tapestry of America’s music that have trod that stage, literally following in the footsteps of those legends of jazz include Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Lee Ritenour and John Scofield.
