Is it true that Anthology changed their name to “The Legends Club” ! ? :-p Noooooo….its not true but Anthology has become the club…..of Legends ! When I mention names like Wynton Marsalis and brother Branford Marsalis…or McCoy Tyner, Bill Charlap, Ravi Coltrane, Peter Bernstien and the late great Freddie Hubbard…..what do they all have in common ? They have all either played, or in the case of Branford Marsalis are coming to perform at Anthology ! The most recent group of greats to grace the Anthology stage were Bill Charlap, Peter Bernstein, Ravi Coltrane, Lewis Nash, Nicholas Payton, Peter Washington & Steve Wilson, on their Blue Note records 70th Anniversary tour. Since it was launched in 1939 by childhood friends Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, Blue Note Records has been the premier label in jazz, recording the greatest artists of the genre. Blue Note’s catalog of music features an impressive array of legendary performances and a core list of “must-have” releases that indelibly marked the history of jazz. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Blue Note legacy, this all-star band featuring some of today’s finest musicians performed at Anthology and celebrated this rich treasure trove of music. Led by Blue Note Records artist and pianist, Bill Charlap, the group will explored classic tunes by Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, and many others.

Anthology…..The Legends Club I think so
