My first time hearing Jeff Antoniuk and his band, The Jazz Update, was at a Jazzway 6004 house concert. Simply put, Jeff is an amazing musician. Amazing, not only in his playing, but as a bandleader as well. Another thing that struck me was the 13-year-old girl in the front row. Her only request was "Blues for JD Salinger," an original composition on Antoniuk's 2006 CD, Here Today. "Blues for JD Salinger" paid tribute to the “Catcher in the Rye” author well before his passing. Jeff Antoniuk and Jazz Update have numerous dates already scheduled throughout DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis. In May, The Jazz Update will be featured at the Juneau Jazz and Classics Festival in Juneau, Alaska where they will unveil their new CD, Brotherhood.
