New York’s Village Vanguard is never in short supply of great jazz-top performers jam at the club all year long-but it’s getting cold and getting you out of the house might be a harder task as a result. To entice you to get out and about, we present the Vanguard’s schedule for December, which includes the club’s traditional New Year’s Eve concert by Dr. Michael White.
Dec. 3-8: Geri Allen Trio with Buster Williams and Billy Hart
Dec. 10-15: Chris Potter Quartet with Kevin Hays, Scott Colley and Bill Stewart
Dec. 17-22: Jackie McLean with the Cedar Walton Trio (David Williams, Kenny Washington)
Dec. 24-29: Cedar Walton Quartet featuring Vincent Herring (David Williams, Kenny Washington)
Dec. 31-Jan. 5: Dr. Michael White and the Original Liberty Jazz Band of New Orleans
Every Monday night: The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra
