Text by Dawoud Kringle
On a Monday night, the 6th day of 2014, when New York City was in the midst of a winter filled with strange weather, a congress of NYC’s jazz elite assembled at Clemente Soto Velez Center for a concert marking the beginning of the Evolving Music Series, presented by Arts for Art (organized by Patricia Parker). Michael Wimberly was the curator for the night’s performance.
Michael Wimberly and Charles Gayle began the first set.

Concert Review: Kosi… does not merely sing; she becomes the song
Date: Wednesday, January 8, 2014
Venue: Silvana (NY)
Review by Dawoud Kringle
Not long ago, I reviewed Kosi Gyebi‘s CD One More Cup of Coffee. I’d heard her guesting with a jazz band; now I wanted to hear her as a leader live. So, I bundled up, went toe to toe with a nasty cold night, and headed uptown to Silvana.
