VIDEO OF THE DAY: “NY TO NOLA” BY GLEN DAVID ANDREWS

New Orleans native Glen David Andrews concludes his Wednesday residency at Rockwood Music Hall on June 25 as part of the Blue Note Jazz Festival, highlighting tunes from his new album, Redemption (Louisiana Red Hot, April 2014). The record, which includes such tracks as “NY to Nola,” “Bad by Myself,” “Surrender,” and “Something to Believe In” and such special guests as Ivan Neville, Anders Osborne, and a sampled Mahalia Jackson, relates Andrews’s inspirational story of recovery from substance abuse. “This is a record about my journey back from the living dead,” the singer, songwriter, and trombonist, who played himself on the HBO series Tremé, says on his website. Andrews and his band will be joined by guest trumpeter Maurice “Mobetta” Brown at Rockwood Music Hall, then Andrews will head uptown for a gig at Harlem’s Silvana on June 26. In addition, Andrews and Cyril Neville will be opening for Galactic on July 23 at Brooklyn Bowl.
