Anton Schwartz
Another lovely day of jazz at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art)! Big crowd came out this past Friday for the sounds of Anton Schwartz. Anton is a tenor player born in raised in the right place, New York City. My first encounter with Anton was actually in the Big Apple. He had a Monday night gig at the Blue Note and my good friend Willie Jones was playing drums with him that evening.
On this evening, I caught the last set and the music was warm and pleasing. Anton was backed up by some cats that I only assume are from New York as well, but they as well are great players. Lots of energy, especially from the pianist, who they tell me is only nineteen years old. The whole rhythm section had a great time playing together, just what a bandleader needs, harmonious synchronicity! I am sure that you will enjoy listening to Anton do his thing. Charlie Owens said, “The music sounds great tonight”.

Take care,
