Sistas’ Place, 456 Nostrand Avenue, at the corner of Jefferson Avenue, where Jazz: A Music of the Spirit Lives and Culture is our Weapon, continues its 23rd season with the music of Resistance, Resilience and Resurgence.

On Saturday, January 12, 2019, at 9 and 10: 30 pm, pianist/vocalist Donald Smith will lead an incredible quartet featuring Frank Lacy on frumpet and trombone, bassist Stanley Banks and drummer Dwayne “Cook” Broadnax. The Donald Smith Quartet, which this writer heard a couple of weeks ago, is very special. The leader sings some of his classic hits and beautiful standards while playing in his characteristic style that is beyond category. Frank Lacy plays the frumpet (an instrument created by the great Art Farmer) with complete abandonment like a man possessed of some creative muse that is between him and the Creator. Stanley Banks and Dwayne”Cook” Broadnax lock the rhythm section down while freeing it at the same time. No-one plays the bass like Stanley keeping time with one foot playing the tambourine and swinging. Dwayne lives up to his middle name cause he is always cooking. If you miss this exciting quartet that Donald Smith put together, you have only yourself to blame, so don’t miss it!
