2 Upcoming Shows + September Update

Hello jazz aficionados, friends, stalkers, and people who stumbled here looking for pictures of "Wynton Marsalis shirtless":First, I'm genuinely stoked (as the kids say) to announce that the new, as-yet-untitled album by the Ian Carey Quintet is nearly finished. (I'm 90% done with mixing, which will be followed by mastering by Bay Area sound guru Ken Lee, then duplication, then...) The disc will feature 8 of my original compositions and one re-invented standard, and I hope to have it out by late fall.I also wanted to tell you about a few shows I've got coming up which I think you'd enjoy. First up is this Friday, when I'm going to be playing with the Ben Stolorow Quartet, on a double bill with his new project with his sister Stephanie called "Stoli Rose" (Get it?!)We'll be going on second, and playing original music by the band, plus a couple of rarely-heard jazz classics.
