Blues Summit by Nelson Onofre
OK Blues fans, this week I have photos from the Blues Summit: James Cotton & Friends show which took place at the Rose Theater at Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York on June 24. This was a star-studded event which featured some big names from the Blues world such as Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, Taj Mahal, Shemekia Copeland, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith and James Cotton, whose band supported the artists during the evening's festivities. The Rose Theater was filled to near capacity which was nice to see for a Blues show.
James Cotton and his band got the ball rolling and they were joined by his friends as the show went on. I had seen most of the artists before so the highlight of the evening for me was to see and hear the legendary Pinetop Perkins. With intermission included the show ran around two hours. All in all it was a very entertaining evening and for Blues fan this was a great place to be. This was my first time at the Rose Theater and it is a beautiful concert hall. I hope to see some more shows there in the near future.
I'd like to thank Scott Thompson of Jazz At Lincoln Center for the press credentials.
