Drummer G. Calvin Weston joins members of "Listen To This" on March 21

Mark your calendars for the return of the iconic jazz drummer G. Calvin Weston, who last performed as a guest of the "Third Thursdays" harmolodic jazz series back in September 2022. Keyboardist Dave Bryant, the host of the series, is a long-time colleague of Weston's, harkening back to Ornette Coleman's electric Prime Time era.

One of the missions of the "Third Thursdays" series is to interview as many former band mates of Ornette Coleman's as possible, in order to increase awareness about Coleman's legacy and his unique free jazz approach to music. A link to the interviews held thus far, all conducted by Bryant, can be found at: dbryantmusic.com/musician-interviews/. The enjoyable interview with Weston, recorded during his last visit to "Third Thursdays," can be found directly at youtu.be/GkJsmK3mjuA?si=XliOMmjjKms2FGWc.

Further details will be available soon regarding Weston's return to "Third Thursdays," this time joined by two of Bryant's fellow members of the electric Miles Davis tribute band "Listen To This": J Johnson (guitar) and Rick McLaughlin (bass). Bryant is thrilled to announce that "Third Thursdays" has been extended for a third year, from April 2024 through March 2025. Information on this year's April and May performances will also be available soon.
