Brooklyn Jazz Underground

Trombonist Alan Ferber and his bassist friend Alexis Cuadrado started the Brooklyn Jazz Underground just over a year ago. Is has recently been getting some press. From their website:

The Brooklyn Jazz Underground is an association of independent bandleaders with a shared commitment to improvised music. Through cooperative effort, members of the BJU strive to create greater awareness of their work.

I miss the days that Mark and Alan Ferber lived in LA and I could regularly go see them perform. I am really happy, though, to see them thriving on the New York jazz scene.
