Faith In Brooklyn for Feb. 11
Jazz Vespers at Emmanuel Celebrates Valentine’s with Saxophonist Eric Wyatt
Emmanuel Baptist Church’s Jazz Vespers takes on a Valentine’s Day edition, as the next in this popular series takes place on Feb. 14. The church is at 279 Lafayette Ave., near St. James Place in Clinton Hill.
The headlining performer will be Eric Wyatt.
A Brooklyn native, Wyatt learned the saxophone from his father, Charlie Wyatt. They hung out with many of the jazz greats. Young Eric had the opportunity to meet Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins, according to Wyatt’s website, www.ericwyatt-music.com. It was Rollins (his godfather) who helped Wyatt produce his first CD album, titled “God Son.” The album also featured jazz greats Al Foster on drums, Rufus Reid on bass and Mark Soskin on piano.
