February 24 - Joey Morant

Joey Morant, trumpeter and member of the Harlem Blues & Jazz Band, was a pure delight on Thursday, February 24, 2005. He regaled the packed house with stories of his early years in music in South Carolina, coming all the way up to his move to New York, and his work with a series of legends, including King Curtis and Merv Griffin. He gave numerous musical examples on trumpet and cornet, and filled the offices of the Jazz Museum in Harlem with not only the sound of surprise, but the emotion of love. This interview, as are all in this continuing series, is preserved on video for the museum archives.
