Jazz pianist George Caldwell, having relocated from New York City to Buffalo, plays his first gig as a local at Bobby McGee’s on Tuesday (Nov. 6) at 8:30pm. An alumnus of both the Duke Ellington and Count Basie orchestras, Caldwell has made a name for himself throughout the jazz circuit as a hip, swinging piano man. While his orchestral contribution has brought crowds to their feet all over the country, his gift to young students has garnered him a number of awards, including the Jazz in Education Award for a curriculum he designed using the blues idiom to teach music theory. Joining Caldwell is local jazz favorite Dan Hull, who has a weekly Tuesday night gig at Bobby McGee’s, with special guests John Hasselback (saxophone) and Sabu Adeyola (bass).
