    These guys really "get" Jaws. I had the pleasure of recording Griff and Jaws in the 70s in Chicago, and they blew me away. And I came of age as a jazz listener when Moment's Notice was the anthem -- it was everywhere! 60 years later, the joyousness and energy of it has made it still my favorite of his compositions. I know Russell from his many appearances from Emmet's apartment, but Seamus, Troy, and Jonathan are new to me, and they are kicking! Thanks to Emett and sponsors for making it all happen, and at such a high level.
    Tenor Madness, which closes the set, comes from a classic late '50s LP/CD by Trane and Rollins!

    *Tenor Transcendence* 🎷🌃🔥🎷
    0:00 Hey, Lock! (Johnny Griffin, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis)
    15:10 Introduction of the Band
    17:12 Old Devil Moon (Burton Lane; lyr. E.Y. Harburg)
    32:52 Along Came Betty (Benny Golson) - ft. Seamus Blake, tenor sax
    47:16 Skylark (Hoagy Carmichael) - ft. Seamus Blake, tenor sax
    1:00:10 King of Hearts (Troy Roberts) (contrafact, My Heart Belongs to Daddy) - ft. Troy Roberts, tenor sax
    1:13:41 I’ll Remember April (Gene dePaul; lyr. Patricia Johnston, Don Raye) - ft. Troy Roberts, tenor sax
    1:27:10 Moment’s Notice (John Coltrane)
    1:43:40 Blues send-off / Tenor Madness (Sonny Rollins)
    *Seamus Blake and Troy Roberts* play with a magnetic *urgency & finesse* that’s just so damn pretty….
    *These cats are a catalyst for combustion -*
    *& last night their sound & synchrony were just scorching.* 🔥
    There’s something powerful in hearing two tenors play - & they absolutely had something to say.
    *Emmet Cohen & Russell Hall answered back on piano and bass with brutal solos & mind-rushing creativity.*
    -meanwhile, *Jonathan Barber* joined the trio on drums, *playing lights-out* like a champion.
    The entire night was transcendently good.
    *Jazz family: we are witnessing our own history-making madness - on tenor & beyond.*
    Gratitude to our fearless musicians - we love you cats….thank you. ❤
