Summer Solstice Jazz Update

Happy summer solstice! I hope you all enjoy the longest day of the year.... Although you've got a little more daylight today than any other day, I won't waste your time with a long jazz update - just want to point out three weekend jazz events:

Event #1 - Charles Owens Quartet at LACMA, Friday, June 22, 6-8pm. I'll definitely be there and hope you can make it too! Charles is spectacular and John Beasley is on piano so it'll be a fabulous evening. If you'd like to get together afterwards for a bite or a nip, be sure to let me know.

Event #2 - Dave Ameele Sextet at Cafe 322, Saturday, June 23, 9:30pm-midnight. East-siders, if you are looking for some entertainment be sure to check this out! Special guest Jeff Clayton will be on hand to make things even more fun!

Event #3 - Tony Inzalaco Quintet at Rosalie & Alva Performance Gallery, Saturday, June 23, 8:00pm. West-siders, don't miss this one! I just heard about this place and it's apparently pretty cool, BYOB sort of joint. And Tony is working on his follow-up live CD so you will definitely be in for a treat.

Stay tuned for a July jazz update in a little over a week, including a recap of my most recent Vegas trip - first time ever to hear jazz in that town.....

Enjoy the music!
