The Band Concurrence Shows How Music Can Transcend Destruction
On the Harbor Stage at the 2026 Newport Jazz Festival on July 31, bassist Greg Bryant and pianist Paul Horton of Concurrence were playing their way through the history of North Nashville: the clubs and communities that once surrounded Jefferson Street, the construction of Interstate 40 through them and the musical possibilities that disappeared with the physical places that had sustained them. The pair were showing that what is gone can still have life in music. Halfway through the duo’s Newport Jazz Festival debut set, Bryant asked the audience to consider where they were standing. Fort Adams had served as a summer White House during Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidency, which meant that 70 years after Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, a Black bassist from Nashville was standing on grounds associated with his presidency, performing music about what happened when the interstate system reached North Nashville.

Making It Through The Storm
|
From moon rise till the next rising of da moon it’s all bout getting how one is built. Many were born to loose, but fight very, very hard to win. The aspects of this type of fight are vastly different than what many others would call a normal fight. Every time you feel you’ve accomplished something there’s always something or someone that’s trying to hold you down or back from sustaining the full potential in your life. The fact that we have actually achieved a goal that has allowed us to feel free and able to move forward, is the same reason why someone or something tries to hold us still. For instance, look at an individual who has been incarcerated and is coming out of incarnation after they repaid their debt to society.

The Madison Finish Line
|
Over the past several years there have been a great number of people who simply can’t understand my faith in Jesus Christ. When I inventory my entire life, I can’t ever understand why at times I simply couldn’t see the obvious. I am human in every way. I was for the most part raised up until a teenager in Iowa. I was always blessed with talents of every kind, but could never really see it as a blessing.
