At the Smokey City Block Party In North Memphis

Smokey City is one of North Memphis’ oldest neighborhoods, allegedly named for the smoke from fires that early residents used to cook their meals and warm their houses. Each summer, the neighborhood sponsors a block party and picnic with a DJ, kids’ activities and plenty of grilled chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs. 6/2/12

The Alvin Fielder Houston Quartet Live at the Alabama Art Kitchen, Tuscaloosa, 2012

The Alvin Fielder Houston Quartet consists of David Dove on trombone, Damon Smith on bass, Jason Jackson on saxophone and Alvin Fielder on the drums. On Sunday 5/13/12 they played a first set of free jazz that lasted about an hour, and after an intermission, a 20-minute second set. It was altogether a great way to end the Alabama Art Kitchen’s two year run in downtown Tuscaloosa.
