Friday: I'll first stop at Ruggero's Piano in Raleigh (google it for address) to hear Joey Calderazzo's NC Quartet at 7:30 & then drive to Sharp Nine for singer Lenora Helm's second set. Then I'll go home & rest--feeling guilty I didn't figure out how to hear pianist Andrews Berinson's quartet at C Grace 9p, or guitarist Calvin Edwards at the Beyu.
Saturday: I'm glad I drive a Prius. With great gas mileage it will take me to the Station at 2p in Carrboro for guitarist Scott Sawyer & a bunch of musicians in that jazz series. Later it could take me to guitarist Keith Ganz at Sharp Nine 8p, or Zoocru at C Grace 9p. Spend personal energy, save on gas.
Sunday: I'm going extravore that night: the Billy Hart Quintet at the 21c Hotel in Durham at 7:30 via Duke Performances. But, the Beast is at the Durham Hotel 5:30p & there are too many jazz (& other) performances in Saturday & Sunday's Carrboro Music Festival to mention here. Go to its site & wonder at the choices. Oh, & singer Frankie Alexander sings at Weaver Street/Hillsborough at 11a.
