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 22nd season with the music of Resistance, Resilience and Resurgence.

On Saturday, May 19th, at 9 and 10:30 pm, we continue our Sistas’ Place Jazz Festival with pianist/composer/bandleader Sharp Radway performing original music composed for Malcolm X with a great band consisting of trumpeter Duane Eubanks, saxophonist Reggie Woods, bassist Endea Owens, and drummer Darryl Green.

May 19th is the Arrival Day, aka birthday, of one of the most powerful leaders of African American people, and therefore humanity, Malcolm X. Sharp Radway is a brilliant composer of this Music of the Spirit and he has created something special for this great leader. The compositions he will be performing with this group, for the most part, will be heard for the first time.
