Ed Cherry Band performs "Chant" by Duke Pearson at Zinc Bar for the Guitar Masters Festival in Greenwich Village NYC on Monday April 29, 2024.

Ed Cherry is a legendary jazz guitarist known for his work with Dizzy Gillespie from 1978 to 1992, and for his own recordings and projects as a band leader since that time. He is widely known as for his melodicism, exuding a deep expressiveness on the guitar attributed to great singers such as Al Green, Marvin Gaye, and Frank Sinatra.

Tonight Ed featured an first-time All-Star lineup of great swingin' jazz musicians specifically catered for the Guitar Masters Festival - Yotam Silberstein on guitar, Alexander Claffy on upright bass, and Ofri Nehemya on drums.

More amazing, these musicians never played together before they went on stage that night - a testament to their great talent, adaptive skills, and listening abilities.

Ed and Yotam guitars blended beautifully together, and the counterpoint between their playing enhanced the overall experience.

It was a spectacular performance the entire night with fantastic musicianship from all and a great vibe!

This is the 37th installment of my "Great Performances" series, where I upload my own personal LIVE footage from past concerts of great musical artists I've covered either through written articles and/or direct interviews.
