Jazz At Lincoln Center Late Night Residency
at Big Joe’s at the Vermont Comedy Club
About
Last year, the Vermont Comedy Club was taken over every night and became the after-hours jazz club Big Joe’s in honor of “Big Joe” Burrell. This year, as part of a special partnership between the Flynn and Jazz at Lincoln Center, Jazz At Lincoln Center Late Night Residency at Big Joe’s at the Vermont Comedy Club presents some of the best emerging jazz artists in the country every night. And each evening culminates in an open jam session where local and visiting musicians can sit in together and play into the night and early morning.
Open jam sessions every day at midnight!
Giveton Gelin
June 7 & 8 at 10 pm
At age 10, Gelin taught himself to play the trumpet simply by emulating his favorite records. In 2017, the Nassau-born trumpeter would study with Dr. Eddie Henderson at the Oberlin Conservatory. The same year, he received recognition at the Young Arts Foundation and Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Program. Thereafter, he continued his studies at the Juilliard School. Within the span of three years, Gelin has played with pioneers of the NY jazz scene such as Curtis Lundy, Bobby Watson, Roy Hargrove, Sullivan Fortner, Wynton Marsalis, Ben Wolfe, and Jon Batiste. In 2020, the Bahamas-native released his debut, True Design. Ultimately, Gelin's artistic vision is to pay tribute to his ancestors, and unify others by incorporating universal human experiences into sound.
