    Sean Harkness & Will Galison at Birdland

    6:00 pm-7:30 pm
    Jan/Thu/2017
    BirdlandJazz Club
    Birdland, West 44th Street, New York, NY, United States

    Will & Sean knocked it out of the park at Birdland last June and July, got thousands of views on YouTube, played a Winter Solstice concert in December, and are now ringing in the New Year at Birdland this Thursday early evening. Heart-warming cajun cooking, sizzling jazz, and the very best cocktails make this a perfect after-work stop.

    The show will be at 6p for one set.

    “Each a complete musician in their own right, the chemistry between them is electric. You will be on the edge of your seat as they follow one another around surprise twists and turns through otherwise familiar song selections and some breathtaking original works.”

    About Will:
    “To my ear, the most original and individual of the new generation of harmonica players.” -TOOTS THIELEMANS
    “When I heard Will play, I said, ‘That guy has got a great sense of melody and swing; we should try him.’ He came in and he was great.” – DONALD FAGEN
    “I’ve played with many many great harmonica players over the years , and Will Galison may be the greatest of them all” – TOMMY EMMANUEL
    “A rare and generous musical being who gives from one gift to another deftly and with childlike Imagination.. A ‘line open’ he is…” -CARLY SIMON
    “I love this guy’s playing!” -LES PAUL

    About Sean:
    “What strikes me about Sean is his absolute love of music… each experience in recording seems to be inspired and meaningful. Looking over his career there seems to be nothing that was simply knocked off. Music is Sean’s sandbox: He’s just all-in and consistently so.” -WILL ACKERMAN
    “Man, you really bring it!” -WILL LEE
    “Sean plays with great passion and individuality. He’s everything you hope for in a musician.” -LUCY ARNAZ
    “Harkness gives full expression to the mood of the moment.” -NEW YORK TIMES
    “Sean is a technical virtuoso who’s Joe Pass / Tommy Emmanuel fingerstyle approach is always in service to telling a story or creating a feeling within the song; he transcends many genres and can touch listeners of many backgrounds.” -JAZZ INSIDE NEW YORK
