RVAJazz is 2 years old! For nostalgia’s sake, between now and the onset of 2010, we’ll be reviewing the year’s most exciting events as chronicled on RVAJazz. We did something similar for 2008, so if you’re feeling especially curious, check that one out too.

The year began strong! Vijay Iyer Trio visited the Modlin Center for a strong performance and spoke his mind to me beforehand. Guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and his quartet performed at VCU’s Singleton Center. VCU adjunct and trumpeter Taylor Barnett gave a stunning faculty recital during a week filled with exciting events. The Oberlin Jazz Septet visited Richmond on a tour and unveiled Papa Ningo as a new performance venue. No BS! Brass put out their second album and packed The Camel, which, since then, has become commonplace for the band. We counted down the days to RVAjazzfest, which would take place in only a month.
