This Summer FBIP brings music to the beautiful waterfront in Bushwick Inlet Park with our first Summer Music in BIP series. As life is starting to look much brighter come take in a skyline river sunset on the shoreline esplanade while absorbing great musical vibes.
First up in partnership with the Jazz Foundation of America we welcome the Craig Holiday Haynes Quartet.
Acclaimed drummer Craig Holiday Haynes, the son of legendary drummer and three-time Grammy Award winner Roy Haynes, brings his craft to Brooklyn. Named after Billie Holiday, he started playing tenor sax at age 14 in and around NYC with a group called the Fabulous Uniques. Craig later studied African percussion with Chief Bey and seriously switched over to a drum set around his 20th birthday. He’s toured with R&B/ Disco artist “Gary Toms Empire”, Sun Ra (with whom he’s also recorded) and has since played an assortment of great jazz, blues, R&B, and most recently gospel with folks such as Barry Harris, Clifford Jordan, Freddie Hubbard, Gloria Lynne, Lionel Hampton, Tony Bennett, The Boys Choir of Harlem, The Allman Brothers Band, Leslie West, Geri Allen, Marcus Miller, Gladys Knight, Eddie Palmeri, actor Danny Glover (to name a few) and many, many others!
