The Gerry Niewood Legacy Concert takes place Wednesday, October 14 at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre.
When Gerry Niewood died in the plane crash near Buffalo last winter, the world lost a brilliant musician and a wonderful human being. Though he was an occasional bandleader and a sought-after session man, Niewood's most familiar role was sideman extraordinaire with Chuck Mangione. Mangione headlines an all-star tribute with Pat LaBarbera, Lew Soloff, Adam Niewood, Harold Danko, Bob Sneider, Bill Dobbins, Gap Mangione, and others. The Eastman Jazz Ensemble and the Eastman New Jazz Ensemble will premiere arrangements of Niewood tunes by Don Menza, Dave Rivello, and others. Proceeds go to the Gerry Niewood Memorial Jazz Scholarship.
