GA Russell Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 You may never get another chance to see Teddy Charles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E) Teddy Charles Quintet (Village Vanguard) H) Stick around for the next week's band at the Vanguard Yes, a fine idea!!! .....but the question is: will Chris A. be able to put up with me for an entire week if I crash at his place? I don't think he's going to like having to run out for various supplies at all hours of the day & nite in order to keep me happy whilst I lounge about the place and soak up culture.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Come on, Chris…get moving with that dolly!! ..and be careful with those kegs! Only 4 more flights to go!!! Put some muscle into it!! You've barely broken a sweat! …and remember, you still need to come back down and carry up the 15 lb sacks of Fritos and Honey Mustard Pretzels!!!

AllenLowe Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 hey Weizen - I know a good park bench on Central Park West - get a good blanket and a loaded pistol and nobody will bother you - unless it's the Secret Police on Republican patrol - I hope Guantanamo has a jazz club - enjoy your stay - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 B and E would be the top choices for me--then possibly F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluerein Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'll be there the first weekend of April. Besides the Jazz Standard (which has no program for April on the site yet) the other venues are filled with acts I'm not really interested in......Ooops Michael sorry. I'll be at the Vanguard anyway one night so I'll see a set of your's for sure!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm hoping to be in New York myself for the Memorial Day weekend. I don't know Kendra Shank's music, but I do like Frank Kimbrough on piano--however, while the 55 Bar is a really nice small venue, they do not have a piano--the only pianist I've seen there (Jean Michel-Pilc) brought an electric piano with him.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) hey Weizen - I know a good park bench on Central Park West - get a good blanket and a loaded pistol and nobody will bother you - unless it's the Secret Police on Republican patrol - I hope Guantanamo has a jazz club - enjoy your stay - So that's the bench where you hatched the entertaining '3 Cubans, 2 angry Frenchmen, and a Pee Wee Marquette look-alike in a pear tree all firing from the grassy knoll' theory you were kicking around here a few years ago? Cool.....I need to give that bench a whirl and see what wild shit I can dream up!!!!! Thanks for the suggestion......and don't forget to leave a small cooler of Beck's for me under the seat!

marcello Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'll be at this gig, but early in the week: D) 'The Music of Henry Mancini' (Joe Locke, Geoff Keezer, Kenny Washington) (Dizzy's Club Cola) The band also has George Mraz and Clarence Penn. Kenny Washington is the singer, from San Francisco, not the drummer. Great singer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
