The perfect way to push play on the soundtrack to not only the beginning of the Dr. Martin Luther King weekend but also an evening of celebration for the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was with a live performance from acclaimed trombonist and Hidden Beach Recordings artists Jeff Bradshaw at The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage.
This free event drew out a diverse crowd with a common love for good music. Jeff Bradshaw along with a band of talented musicians created a sound that kept people rocking, head nodding, and hand clapping. Every seat was filled, every free space on the adjacent stairs occupied, and the standing room section became cramped as more and more people clamored to be touched by the big, boisterous sounds of the the trombone.
A special treat of the night was the appearance and performance of legendary singer Maysa. She sang, scatted and garnered a standing ovation from the audience.
The night was full of surprises as Jeff Bradshaw begin to sing an impromptu version of Happy Birthday to Hidden Beach marketing guru Thornell Jones. The audience joined in and Mr. Jones humbly took the moment in flushed with genuine joy.
The night ended in a surprise presentation to Mr. Bradshaw from the Executive Director of the DC Chapter of The Recording Academy, Ms. Wendi Cherry and Thornell Jones. They presented him with certificates of his numerous Grammy nominations from various projects he has worked on.
Bon Appétit, the new project from Jeff Bradshaw is due this March with guest appearances by Raheem DeVaughn, The Floacist, Marsha Ambrosia and others.
