SUMMARY:J.C. Hopkins Biggish Band at Minton's Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Join on Saturday December 14th for an incredible live music experience featuring the J.C. Hopkins Biggish Band at the famous Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem\, NYC. \nAbout the artist: \n“JC Hopkins is a Grammy nominated songwriter\, producer and leader of the world renowned JC Hopkins Biggish Band. The Biggish Band has featured some of the most important vocalists in the history of modern music including Elvis Costello\, Norah Jones\, Jon Hendricks\, Andy Bey\, Jazzmeia Horn\, Madeleine Peyroux and many more. \nAs a songwriter his compositions have been covered by many artists including Willie Nelson and Norah Jones who recorded his song “Dreams Come True” which was nominated for a Grammy. He has produced a number of albums including the Grammy nominated children’s album of Tin Pan Alley songs\, “Sunny Side of the Street” for actor John Lithgow.” \n“But Minton’s was full and thriving in the current boom\, and the house band that night was JC Hopkins’ Biggish Band. So with Hopkins at the piano\, the band swung and bopped behind three wonderful vocalists through the Billie Holiday songbook\, including superb readings of “God Bless the Child” and “What a Little Moonlight Can Do”. Music created in another age that remains as affecting today must be regarded as serious art\, and that was what I heard at Minton’s that night.” — FINANCIAL TIMES “A JAZZ THEMED TOUR OF NEW YORK” \n“At Minton’s\, you’re part of the choir. There’s this part in “Moanin'” where—not in the original version but in this one\, arranged by JC Hopkins and which his band\, JC Hopkins’ Biggish Band\, plays—the horn section shouts out\, call-and-response style. This night\, we get in on it\, too. Bum be de BOMP. HEY! Be dop bop be da BOMP. HEY! Bum be de BOMP. HEY! And it’s not anger any longer\, but joy.” — ESQUIRE MAGAZINE \nMark your calendars and get ready for a night of unforgettable melodies!
