Maybe it's a week to honor the god of small things, checking out the many regular gigs:
--tonight (Monday) Robert Griffin & Danny Grewen at Imbibe in Chapel Hill, or The She'd weekly jazz jam led by Ernest Turner; &/or
--Tuesday, the Brad Maiani Trio at Looking Glass in Carrboro; &/or
--Wednesday, Ariel Pocock & James Suter at Bar Virgile in Durham, or Duke's Jazz At The Mary Lou weekly jazz jam; &/or
--Thursday, Andrew Berinson on solo piano at Brasa Steakhouse.
--Sunday, a second chance to hear Brad Maiani, at Chapel Hill's West End Wine Bar.
The best thing way to decide what to do this weekend is to check out the WNCU jazz calendar. It's chock full of choices (though I should be at Sharp Nine Saturday night for Larry Q. Draughn's take on Monk). Not on that calendar but worth it: the nationally renowned Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble 4pm. I'll be there too...
I have to admit that Africa is calling me this week (I've spent eight years of my life in various countries on that continent): Youssou N'dour singing Sufi songs Tuesday night at UNC, & Congolese music at UNC Friday night. Though I find it hard to choose other than jazz music currently, these events compel me to attend.
