Over one year has passed since my last post on this blog.

The pandemic year.

Our last pre-pandemic show as Puma Perl and Friends was at the historic CafĂ© Bohemia, located at 15 Barrow Street.  From 1955-60, the club hosted jazz legends and poets. Charlie Parker lived across the street at the time, with poet Ted Joans, and had offered to play in order to attract other musicians and patrons.  The club was closed until 2019, and then reopened with the same intimate venue.

Puma Perl and Friends were honored to kick off what was to be a new series, West Village Word, hosted and curated by John Pietaro. We played to a full house on Wednesday, 02/26/21, joined by guest saxophonist Seaton Hancock. The second featured act was Lindsay Wilson $ Human Hearts.
