“Joshua” (Victor Feldman) from LIVE AT YOSHI’S, VOL. 2 w/ Mulgrew Miller, piano; Karriem Riggins, drums; Derrick Hodge, bass; July 22 or 23, 2003 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KARRIEM RIGGINS! Not long after Karriem moved to NYC, he started snatching up gigs, most notably one with Mulgrew Miller at Bradley’s on many occasions. Such a ball of talent and skill. I’m reminded of a night Nic Payton and I went to see Mulgrew at the Iridium (the original location at 63rd & Broadway, beneath the Empire Hotel), and we were absolutely stunned at what appeared to be an overnight growth spurt in Karriem’s playing. That trio with Richie Goods and Riggins? That was the one… #KarriemRiggins #AugustBirthdays #MulgrewMiller #LiveAtYoshisVolume2 #DerrickHodge #Joshua #VictorFeldman https://www.instagram.com/p/B1l1wXkgFUR/?igshid=v595wzsec6km
