Announcements: Quintet, 4/12/07

I'm pleased to announce that after weathering a dry spell, the Ian Carey Quintet is reuniting for our first East Bay show. The venue is Anna's Jazz Island in Berkeley, which is a nice room with a fine piano (and it's next door to some of the best carnitas nachos I've ever had).

Evan Francis, our regular saxophonist extraordinaire, is unfortunately going to be out of town, but the great Joe Cohen (of Jazz Mafia and Cannonball), who was a frequent guest of ours back in the House of Shields days, will be filling in. We'll be playing music from our CD as well as some new originals and jazz rarities.

There's an $8 cover, but that's less than almost anything else you can think of to do (outside) on a Thursday night.

WHEN: Thursday, April 12th, 8 p.m.
