Music Mondays @ the Dwyer, a partnership with Nation of Imagination, features composer/trombonist Craig Harris with a stellar ensemble of musicians playing his original works. The inspiration for the Music Mondays @ the Dwyer series is “musicians need somewhere to play on a Monday night in Harlem and the Dwyer is the perfect place.” The current line-up, which may feature guest musicians, includes Richard Fairfax, Jay Rodriguez, James Stewart, Eddie Allen, Shareef Clayton, Pete Drungle, Tony Lewis and Al McDowell. The 90-minute set starts at 8:30pm every 2nd and 4th Monday each month. Admission is $10.00 at the door. |

This year we mark several anniversaries – the 80th year since his birth, the 10th year since his death, and the 40th year since he founded the Department of Performing Arts at the State University of New York College at Old Westbury -- one of the country's first departments dedicated to the arts in the African American tradition. This performance will focus on Makanda’s skills as a composer and an arranger. For more information or to purchase tickets online, go to www.mkmjazz.com. |
