Thanks to everyone who came out Saturday at the iconic Bitter End (147 Bleecker St, NYC) for Vienna Carroll & The Folk.

Vienna, Stanley, Ken Scharf, and Marvin, what a night. Marvin brought great energy while honoring Keith Johnston’s spirit. Keith, see you soon!

What a night.

Playing the Henry Threadgill Sextett music again was powerful.

There’s something about this music that still hits, still matters.

Appreciate everyone who showed up and tuned in.

In 1973, I moved to Delaware. 12-year-old Matthew Shipp was already deep into jazz. His father took him to clubs, and when he saw me play, something resonated. Now, decades later, we share the stage.
