I have these pieces of news:
The Beyu has changed its Friday-Saturday performance times: They are now 7 & 9p sets, good for those liking earlier performances & late suppers but bad for folks like me occasionally doubling up on performances.
Drummer Larry Q Draughn is moving to Detroit: Between listening to others talking with Larry & talking with him myself, it sounded like he's moving there to join the ministry. I know he's quite spiritual but know nothing about his formal status, other than as a darned good drummer. Will miss him...
The Pittsboro Roadhouse is starting a jazz series: Starting tonight with the Heart of Carolina Jazz Orchestra, the Roadhouse now has jazz every Monday except for their monthly Dean Martin tribute. Go to http://pittsbororoadhouse.com/calendar/ for more info. Good to have another venue with a regular jazz schedule, this time spotlighting big band music.
Don't miss the Jim Ketch Swingtet at Sharp Nine Friday night 8p: Jim & his five young companions not only have played great jazz 3-4 other times, they've sold out too. If you want tickets move quickly.
More to come when I know more....
