Charlie McCarthy has been an acknowledged master of the reeds and flute for decades. His tone is impeccable, his sense of swing and inventiveness ever fresh and sure. A master on the regional jazz scene.
Guitarist Scott Foster has been a key player at Bird & Beckett since we began presenting jazz in the bookshop on a weekly basis nearly a quarter of a century ago, in late 2002. Now, you can hear him on the third Friday of each month with a freshly conceived combo every time out. His duo date with young virtuoso guitarist Luke Schwartz a few months back was pure pleasure; this week he merges that delightful pairing with his determination to present some of the master musicians of the region on an occasional basis, a “Masters Series” that this month finds Charlie McCarthy in the spotlight. Not to be missed!
