Blues. Soul | The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 Jay and the Kings County Band mix up Soul, New Orleans rhythms, and some Blues into a funky stew that surprises and satisfies. Along with being the sax player of choice for famous artists like Gregg Allman, Levon Helm, and Donald Fagen, Jay has also been moon-lighting as a singer/songwriter for years.
Jay fronts his Kings County Band on gigs throughout the region when he's not performing with the horn section at Levon Helm’s Ramble in Woodstock, or playing in The Dukes of September, a musical collective featuring Fagen, Boz Scaggs, and Michael McDonald. He is also the musical director for Greg Allman's band. Collins is proud of his past work with musicians like Ray LaMontagne, James Hunter, Bobby Sanabria, Jacky Terrasson, Andrew Hill, and Chris Bergson.
In an era where most learn to play music through an institution, Mr. Collins is one of those increasingly rare musicians who, for the most part, learned to play “on the bandstand”.
“He has a killer tone…”- Gregg Allman

with Ed Palermo's Big Band
Jazz. Rock | The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 The Ed Palermo Big Band, an 18 piece ensemble of five woodwind players, four trumpeters, three trombonists, two keyboardists, guitar, violin, bass and drums, is led by alto saxophonist and arranger Ed Palermo, with much of the same personnel spanning 30 years, performing the music of Frank Zappa for 20 years. No one does it with the ease, skill and originality of Ed's band! An impressive feat in itself!
'Oh No! Not Jazz!!' consists of two albums - the first explores Ed's distinctive interpretations of Frank Zappa's work and works from original Mothers Of Invention. The second album features Ed's own riotous, colorful compositions, featured here for the first time in over 25 years!
This double album shows that, despite the financial and practical difficulties of running a very large band, there are many musical voices in a big band for showcasing arrangements. This is an exciting listen for fans of Frank Zappa and all adventurerers in rock and jazz music. |
