To the delight of the audience members in
attendance at Harlem Speaks on Thursday, April 7, 2005,
Milt Grayson sang a rendition of Ellingtons Sophisticated
Ladies during a special jam session that featured Executive
Director Loren Schoenberg on tenor sax, guitarist Gene Bertoncini,
and young turks Jumaane Smith on trumpet, Ivan Taylor on bass,
and Ulysses Owens on drums. Swinging through a set of standards,
these musical friends of the Jazz Museum in Harlem invited
audience members to join in, including Vinnie Knight on a
rousing blues: Baby, Meet Me with Your Black Drawers
On! Knight first performed with Schoenberg over 20 years
ago.
