I’ve received an email from the brilliant trumpeter John McNeil, advertising a regular gig with the equally brilliant tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry. At the bottom is this wonderful critical plaudit:
“Their treasonous use of pentatonics speaks volumes about their hatred of America. These guys are traitors, pure and simple.” — Ann Coulter
Took the words right out of my mouth.
They play Sundays at Night & Day in Park Slope, Brooklyn, from 8:30-11:00 pm.
*Update: Another reason to go see John McNeil — he’s one of the most caustic, deadpan wits in the music world. The Coulter quote is a joke. And a very characteristic one.
