Well, unfortunately, we're starting kind of late.  The radio is taking off now, so it makes booking some of this stuff easier, but most clubs are already booked up into next year.  So we'll have to start booking them for the spring.

In Philly, North By Northwest's schedule, here, looks like it has some openings, if the other clubs don't. (Persistent little bugger, aren't I? :rolleyes: )

Organissimo Releases 2nd Album - This Is The Place

Hot on the heels of their award-winning debut CD Organissimo is proud to announce the release of their second full length studio album, This Is The Place on Big O Records.

This Is The Place continues organissimo’s development of original ensemble material and further refinement of their signature sound. It features eight brand new original songs as well as a lilting latin re-interpretation of the standard “Tenderly” and Frank Zappa’s rock anthem “Peaches En Regalia”. Not content with simply imitating the great organ groups of yesteryear, This Is The Place naturally extends the legacy of the organ trio in new and exciting directions.

Organist and bandleader Jim Alfredson began writing his own music at the age of eight and at sixteen dedicated himself solely to the Hammond B3. In 1997 he met guitarist Joe Gloss, who also started playing at the age of 8. They co-led various groups before meeting drummer Randy Marsh, a veteran of the west-Michigan jazz scene, in November of 2000. organissimo was born and very quickly became the premier jazz trio in the state.

Now, with the release of This Is The Place, organissimo is poised to break out nationally. This Is The Place debuted at the #2 spot on the CMJ Adds Chart for its first week and is steadily gaining more stations and more spins. Initial comments and reviews have already praised organissimo’s originality, their fresh sound, and their wide appeal.

We need ya in the DC area!  Or Baltimore, whichever......

I am looking in D.C. likely for the Spring. Do you have any favorite spots?

I've been in contact with a few, and do have some possibilities.

Places like Twins jazz on U street, The Black Cat, a major alternative music space that has shown jazz groups, or even places like The Warehouse on 7th street, a relatively new alternate space.
