Shenole Latimer @ the New Smyrna Beach Regional Library 4/14/12

Kenny & Shenole in '07

New York saxophonist Shenole Latimer stopped in New Smyrna Beach on his 2012 tour of the Southeast to re-unite with his former bandmate Kenny MacKenzie and his FL trio, at the Regional Library this past Saturday. It turned out to be an exciting night of originals by both Shenole & Kenny, as well as jazz favorites like "Green Dolphin Street", "Body & Soul" and even "Satin Doll". The video below is a tune by Kenny, from an album that featured both his trio & Shenole called "Closer to the Day". Thanks to Gloria Mariash for the footage, and to the NSB Library for putting on jazz shows like this one! - PCJ
