Special Guest Artist: Joe Cohn, guitar
at the Limerick Bar at Rosie O'Grady's Times Square
Joe Cohn was fated to a life in music by his antecedents and early exposure to the greatest musicians and composers, Joe, son of legendary saxophonist Al Cohn and vocalist Marylin Moore, has steadily risen to the fore and made his mark as one of the most inventive and catalytic guitarists in jazz. Joe emerged from his years at the Berklee School of Music in the late 70s as a multi-instrumentalist, and is no less impressive on trumpet. His work on guitar is consistently applauded and favorably reviewed. His professional experience as a guitarist is of the first order.
He has toured and played with groups led by his father, Al Cohn (1979-87, including Europe), Freddy Cole (touring Brazil), Bob Mover, Nick Brignola, Artie Shaw, Zoot Sims, Buddy DeFranco (ongoing), Al Grey (ongoing), Warren Chiasson (ongoing), Carmine Leggio (ongoing), Claude “Fiddler” Williams (ongoing) and, of course, Harry Allen. On the New York City jazz club and concert scene, he has played the famous Blue Note with Al Cohn, Artie Shaw and Al Grey, Fat Tuesday’s and Sweet Basil with Al Grey, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with Artie Shaw and Lincoln Center with Hank Jones and Wynton Marsalis. On the international scene, he has played the Oslo Jazz Festival with Frank Wess, has played the annual jazz cruise on board the SS Norway with Al Grey, and wowed them at the Lionel Hampton Club in Paris with Duffy Jackson.
His credits go on and on, but the proof of the playing is in the hearing thereof, so don’t miss this opportunity to dig Joe Cohn.
Tom Artin (trombone & flute)
Tom Artin began playing jazz in Junior High School in a band organized by the now celebrated American composer John Harbison. He has played throughout the U.S. and Europe with a number of world renowned jazz groups including the Smithsonian Jazz Repertory Ensemble (1981-84), the Louis Armstrong Alumni All-Stars, the World of Jelly Roll Morton, the World's Greatest Jazz Band, and Wild Bill Davison. During the ‘80’s Tom was a regular member of the house band at Eddie Condon’s and also led the Friday noontime band, Condon’s Hot Lunch.
Dick Lincoln (vibes & keyboards)
Dick Lincoln is from Southeastern Massachusetts where he started playing violin as a young boy. He studied mallet percussion and jazz from age fourteen until graduating high school in the Boston suburbs. At Princeton University in the fifties he played vibes with all the PJQ members, briefly with Stan Rubin and the Tigertown Five and joined the John Eaton Quartet with Alan Bergman and Ed White. That group made three recordings with George Avakian at Columbia Records. Dick moved permanently to the Princeton NJ area in 1966 and has played both piano and vibes in the Trenton NJ area for forty years.
Alan Bergman (drums & percussion)
Alan Bergman has been able to combine his love for jazz and other music with a rewarding career as an attorney in the music business. He was born in Brooklyn, attended public high school and then Princeton and NYU Law School. His first job was as Counsel to Frank Loesser and his music publishing and Broadway production companies. He then became an attorney with ABC Records during the Golden Age of Impulse Records of John Coltrane, Ray Charles and the Mamas and the Papas. He formed his own law practice in New York City in 1973 specializing in the music business. He has continued to play music with various community orchestras, jazz groups and finally the PJQ.
Ed White (bass & bass guitar)
Ed started his musical career by studying violin at the age of six. Violin wasn’t his first choice, but his arm was ”too short to box with God“ or play trombone. Six years and a somewhat longer arm later, he switched to double bass. Ed studied classical bass for the next six years during five of which he played in the New Jersey All State High School Orchestra. At Princeton and later in Cairo Ed studied the Arabic language and literature which proved invaluable for a later career embracing six years as a Peace Corps Deputy Country Director in Iran, and Country Director in Libya, Barbados and Kenya. The next period consisted of 22 years with the United Nations, including headquarters postings in New York and Geneva and field assignments as UN Development Programme Country Representative and United Nations Resident Coordinator in Iran, Mauritania and Samoa.
