Last night John Farnsworth lead the band with Andrew Beals on sax, Peppe Merolla on drums, Steve Einerson on piano, and Jonah Jonathan on bass. They opened the first set with two original compositions, "Street Beat" and "S' Go" from John Farnsworth's cd "The Good Life." I loved their rendition of "Marbella" by Charles Greenlee -- warm and vibrant with an inventive, fierce solo by Peppe. Another original composition by John Farnsworth, "Mozzin," featured an elegant solo by Steve Einerson. At the end of the night they played my request of "Summertime" and John's sexy, sultry sax took me there. Next week the great trumpet player Joe Magnarelli will be leading the band and bringing us some new, gifted musicians to the Bronx.
