The beat lives on and on...<\/h2>\n

\u201cNew York is definitely back,\u201d said musician and broadcaster Jon McEntyre aka Jonny Darlin at the end of a sun-filled, joy-fuelled day in Washington Square Park. Crowds danced away the final Saturday of September to the infectious rhythms of Bobby Sanabria and His Multiverse Big Band with special guest Janis Siegel, lead singer of The Manhattan Transfer.<\/p>\n

The free concert was, as usual, the centerpiece of The Village Trip, the festival founded in 2018 to celebrate the artistic and social history of Greenwich Village. It\u2019s been said that the Village is less a place, more a state of mind with no boundaries. The Village Trip celebrated that with more than thirty events \u2013 walks and talks, and folk, jazz, rock, and classical music, including a special concert by the young students of the Third Street Music Settlement School. The festival kicked off with David Amram and friends on Eighth Street on September 18, a celebration of \u201cThe Eighth Street Experience,\u201d with appropriate touches of Jimi Hendrix provided by Bodies Electric, and ended on the 26th with David and yet more friends in a grand folk finale at the historic Bitter End, New York City\u2019s oldest rock club, marking its sixtieth birthday this year.<\/p>\n

\"John
John Ventimiglia, who read the celebrated \u201cchildren of the American bop night\u201d passage from Jack Kerouac\u2019s On the Road<\/em>, exclaimed: \u201cI can\u2019t believe we\u2019re all here in Greenwich Village. I\u2019ve been hanging out, walking around drunk here, trying to fall in love. I can\u2019t believe we\u2019re all here, and I\u2019m grateful.\u201d (Photo by The Village Sun)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

David, who is Artist Emeritus of The Village Trip, also led a unique walk, celebrating \u201csixty-five joyous years in the Village,\u201d its rich history deeply entwined with his own. In 2022, he will lead TVT\u2019s celebration of his old friend Jack Kerouac\u2019s centenary.<\/p>\n

This year The Village Trip grew from three to nine days and expanded in scope to include a theater crawl, readings by children\u2019s book authors, buskers, and open design studios.<\/p>\n

Geographically as well as spiritually, Washington Square has always been the center of the Village, and Bohemia\u2019s beating heart, a place to which everyone \u2013 locals and folks from around the world \u2013 is ineluctably drawn, whether it\u2019s to protest or just hang out.<\/p>\n

And hang out on that sunny Saturday they did, from the lunchtime soundcheck until the last notes of \u201cLet the Good Times Roll.\u201d \u201cAll night long<\/em>\u201d the crowds chanted back at surprise guest, singer Antoinette Montague, who closed the show, boogying through the throng to take the stage.<\/p>\n

Jamie Bernstein, daughter of Leonard Bernstein, danced the day away, then commented on Facebook: \u201cBoyoboy did it ever go down. Wash Sq Park didn\u2019t know what hit it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Janis Siegel called it \u201ca magical day of NYC music, history, community, movement and visual stimulation.\u201d As the organisers of The Village Trip, we couldn\u2019t have put it better ourselves. Thanks for coming. See you next year.<\/p>\n

Just simply a magical day of NYC music, history, community, movement and visual stimulation. I\u2019m grateful to Bobby Sanabria and his powerful Multiverse Orchestra and to Liz Thomson, the creator and visionary of the Village Trip Festival. Was thrilled to see some NYU students attending as well as all the old hippies in the neighborhood!<\/em>

David Amram\u2019s walk began under the Arch, the walk took in the site of the celebrated Cedar Tavern, Alice Neel\u2019s old home, the site of the Weather Underground\u2019s explosion, and his own former pad on Sixth Avenue and 10th Street. The Pied Piper of Greenwich Village led everyone on to Patchin Place, where a plaque marks where e e cummings once lived, and into Cornelia Street. It ended outside Caf\u00e9 Figaro, where so much Village history happened \u2013 and soon will again (photos: Maria Passannante-Derr)<\/div><\/div><\/div>

He and Jack Kerouac brought jazz\/poetry to New York City, playing at the Five Spot and the Circle in the Square.
