Famous Ankles

I keep planning on sharing more on one of the best parks in all of NYC: Tudor City Greens. But, I keep waiting for the right time to photograph and share it.

Right now isn’t one of those times, but I do want to let you know that the Greens holds a music concert every two weeks or so throughout the summer. It’s on Wednesdays and goes from 6pm to about 7pm.

It’s always classical or jazz. The musicians this year are from the Mannes College of Music (part of the New School out of Greenwich Village). One of the great benefits of being in a place like this is the availability of people like this. On the other hand, we provide them with appreciative crowds. A win-win.

To give credit, Michael Engstrom (trombone), Audrey Flores (horn), and Gary A. Padmore (trumpet and flugelhorn) did a very nice job of playing. There were maybe 40 or 50 of us in the audience.

The June playdates are brass. The July 2 and July 16 concerts are jazz. And the July 30 and August 13 concerts are woodwind.
