Harvie S, Sheryl Bailey, Steve Johns
Nyack Jazz Week at the Turning Point Cafe
Piermont, NY
July 29, 2012
Sometimes auspicious events occur in unlikely circumstances. The last part of Nyack Jazz Week 2012 was billed as a closing night concert with surprise guests, followed by a jam session. Long before the first set began, some of the invited guests arrived, instruments in tow, eager to play. All of this activity forecast a night filled with familiar tunes, and lengthy solos of varying degrees of competence. But before the vagaries of jazz as democracy commenced, there was the matter of the debut of a cooperative trio comprised of bassist Harvie S, guitarist Sheryl Bailey, and drummer Steve Johns.
