A new start!

Dear friends,

The new year has begun full steam ahead, at least it feels that way. Thank you so much for your support in 2010, especially the last two nights with the Quartet! I still get a warm feeling thinking about it, like having your family all around you. That is what holidays are about, huh?

There are two events I want you to know about this week:

FRI Jan 7, 7:30pm Art Opening  (Basement, 13th & Walnut, Bldr)
ZMA & the Alchemy Project


Neil Hirschowitz is an artist with a big vision. One facet is an idea we have been experimenting with. The short description is: I play, he paints. It is improvisatory in a way that is even a little scary to me, we never really know what is going to happen. This time out I have the great Kim Stone as co-conspirator. Come early, we might evaporate instantaneously - not to be missed! Enter the basement off of 13th, south of Conner ONeils.

SUN Jan 9, 6-7pm Outlook Hotel (28th St Frontage Rd near Baseline)
Lionel Young Band


This is a quick set before the blues jam... the 6 piece band which will represent the Colo Blues Soc. in Memphis, Feb 3-5, to competing in the International Blues Challenge. We are raising funds for the trip, so come down and throw a dollar in the pot. (Lionel Young, Kim Stone, Jay Forrest, Ricardo Pena, Andre Mali, Dexter Payne)

Come out and see your friends. Make new ones. Live music... nothing better!

See you there,
Dexter
