Thursday: Some good news: Imbibe has started a Thursday night 8p gig with the Danny Grewen/Kenny Phelps-McKeown Quartet. I'll be there--though I'd catch Al Strong with Ariel Pocock at C Grace in Raleigh if I lived down there.
Friday: I'll be at Sharp Nine for the Eric Hirsch Quartet, hoping to hear new tunes.
Saturday: For a change, a choice of vocalists: the enthusiastic Noah Powell at Irregardless; Lenora Zenzalai Helms with the New Orleans-based Batuque Trio; &/or Jo Gore with Eric Hirsh at C Grace. Nice choices...
Tuesday: And, for more vocal yayas, Lenora ZH leads the NCCU Vocal Jazz Ensemble, premiering their latest CD. A good mid-week change of pace...
