Description

Sharp Radway’s “Music Of The Streets” is a music project that pays homage to iconic figures in Jazz. The music presented by the group focuses on music composed by Jazz greats who once lived, or currently reside, in Sugar Hill, Harlem; Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn; Newark, NJ; Wilmington, Delaware; Detroit; Philadelphia; Queens, NY; and other neighborhoods and cities.

The Queens Chapter of the project focuses on the rich Jazz legacy of Queens, New York. Some of the artists that the project pays homage to are Ella Fitzgerald, Fats Waller, Lena Horn, Lester Young, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ben Webster, and several others from the Corona, Jamaica, Hollis, East Elmhurst, Flushing, Bayside, Springfield Gardens, and St. Albans neighborhoods. The group also features original music composed by its leader, Sharp Radway.
