After the concert
From left to right: Robby Ameen, drums; Lincoln Goines, bass; Bill O'Connell, piano & leader; Craig Handy, sax; Tim Olsen, from Union College & Jazz/Latino.
The band played songs from O'Connell's new release "A Change is Gonna Come" (Savant, 2022) and closed the set with the scorching "Monk's Cha Cha." They were propelled by rocket fuel!
