Live from the Village Vanguard Concert Series

Series presents Fred Hersch Trio is July.
By Mike Jacobs and Chris Cooke/KIOS.

If you are a fan of live jazz music but don't have the cash at the moment to travel to the Big Apple then NPR Music offers the next best thing.

The Live from the Village Vanguard Concert Series presents performances from the top artists in jazz.  

The next concert in this series will present Jazz Pianist Fred Hersch and his Trio on July 22.

The most recent concert in the series presented music with saxophonist Bill McHenry and his band which included the legendary drummer Paul Motian. The concert was for fans of the cutting edge--McHenry and associates fearlessly burned through a strong set.  

In May the series presented Allen Toussaint's The Bright Mississippi Band.
Toussant's impeccable piano artisty was astonishing. A listener could revel in a timeless music of sublime joy.

Earlier concerts include an April 8th performance by the Tom Harrell Quintet and a March 17th set with the David Sanchez Quartet.
If you missed these shows they are archived for download on demand at www.npr.org/music .
