This is the forty third in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

In addition to being an excellent bop-based trumpeter and flugelhornist, Mark Morganelli has organized many concerts through the years and performed with his groups (often known as the Jazz Forum All-Stars) for decades.

For this concert of straight ahead jazz, he leads a quartet that also includes guitarist Roni Ben-Hur, bassist Cameron Brown and drummer Tony Jefferson.

The straight-ahead music from June 6, 2020 includes swinging versions of “Speak Low,” “Desafinado,” “Covid Blues,” “Lover Man,” “So What,” “So Nice,” “All The Things You Are,” and “Minority.”
