JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA WITH WYNTON MARSALIS – SOLD OUT

Robert Glasper @ Guild Hall of East Hampton

I had the chance to attend a Robert Glasper concert, thanks to Bonnie Cannon Executive Director at Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center and the wonderful people at the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center. No photos were taken of the performance because it was such an intimate theater. It was a great event and part of the Hamptons Jazz Summer Series.
