I almost feel like the private photographer to @bbjazziii, but there are worse gigs to have. • But as usual, Wednesday nights at @smallslive is usually on fire when #BennyBenackIII is hosting his infamous jams. And this past Wednesday was no exception! Monster players like @giveton, @ulyssesowensjr_ came to leave it all on that stage with @abadiejazz @jebpatton and @yasushibass and new comers like @jamesarno_1 and the ethereal voice of @marhands. • As I’ve been saying for decades…. #GetTheeToSmalls! The coolest room on the planet. • #NYC #ILoveNY #I❤️NY #Manhattan #BigApple #RichardAgudelo #RicAgudelo #Photographer #Photographing #Photography #RespectCopyright #© #©RichardAgudelo #jazz #smallsjazzclub • Shot on @sonyalpha @sonyprousa #SomyRX1rii (at Smalls Jazz Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP4Z8KxA2vYAqUzAe373xXSAql7VCHOwesN5l00/?utm_medium=tumblr

When it gets so dirty at @smallslive Wednesday night @bbjazziii jam night that @sonnystep can smell how dirty it got. • The unequivocal mayor of the NYC Jazz community is #BennyBenackIII and when he puts a band together like @heyemmet @poole.kyle @yasushibass and #SonnyStep, you know the room will fill up with the best of the best like @jamesarno_1 @marklbass • The City is opening back up… life is on a steady progression to some semblance of normalcy. Get thee to #SmallsJazzClub, as I’ve been saying for a decade… the coolest room on the planet. • And pick up a @robert.kendall.549221 original while you’re there. He’s got a treasure trove. • #NYC #ILoveNY #I❤️NY #Manhattan #BigApple #RichardAgudelo #RicAgudelo #Photographer #Photographing #Photography #RespectCopyright #© #©RichardAgudelo #Jazz (at Smalls Jazz Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPMqaCUAkX0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Jazz musicians can be a sullen moody bunch... and trumpet players in particular... I think they all come from that Miles school. Although @bbjazziii plays with that pain and contempt, he brings the flip side of that mood to the stage. An energy and raw talent on a mission to make a point. Plays with a will of something to prove. If you ever get a chance to catch #BennyBenackIII, and it’s a show he’s firing on all cylinders, it is a show, a player and a cast of characters you won’t soon forget. • Here, at our stomping grounds for years, the coolest room on the planet @smallslive! #GetTheeToSmalls! • #NYC #ILoveNY #I❤️NY #Manhattan #BigApple #RichardAgudelo #RicAgudelo #Photographer #Photographing #Photography #RespectCopyright #© #©RichardAgudelo #Jazz #Trumpet# (at Smalls Jazz Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMRNxKjgZLr/?igshid=1ew04x6wpn81w

But don’t fret, Benny is hosting his Wednesday night jam at @smallslive till May. Get your tickets early as his set will sell out quick. Get thee to Smalls! • #NYC #ILoveNY #I❤️NY #Manhattan #BigApple #RichardAgudelo #RicAgudelo #Photographer #Photographing #Photography #RespectCopyright #© #©RichardAgudelo (at Smalls Jazz Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMJGHMMAie3/?igshid=19d9sjdu9gi4r
