About this concert
album launch 'Smoke and Mirrors' - Joe Locke (vibes) / Phil Markowitz (piano)
"History. If I’ve got it with anyone, I’ve got it with Phil Markowitz.
He was my first (and technically, my only) improvisation teacher when I was 13. I recorded my first album with him at 22 (with Eddie Gomez and Keith Copeland). The first time I played at Bradley’s, the legendary NYC jazz venue, was with him. He was then, and remains, a hero and inspiration." —JL
We're proud to announce the release of our duo album 'Smoke and Mirrors' and celebrate the occasion on Oct 24 and 25 (at Mezzrow, New York City) and Nov 1 (at the Deer Head Inn, Delaware Water Gap, PA).

Joe Locke Biography
Joe Locke is widely considered to be one of the major voices of his instrument, long known to be a soloist capable of stunning physical power and broad emotional range. He had already played with Dizzy Gillespie, Pepper Adams and Mongo Santamaria before he was out of high school. His more than 30 CDs as a soloist have solidly established him as the exhilarating composer, band leader and conceptualist that he is considered today.
Locke consistently ranks at the top of all critics and readers polls and is the recipient of six Jazz Journalists Association’s Mallet Player of the Year awards.
