IF SHAKESPEARE WERE MY PUBLICIST"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. If you'd likest to have some swingin' jazz greatness thrust upon you, comest thou on down to the House of Shields next Tuesday eventide.""Not Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn the living record of your memory, but a couple of Cosmos at the House of Shields might.""We, ignorant of ourselves, beg often our own harms, which the wise powers deny us for our good, but that sure as hell never happens at the House of Shields. Harm away and leavest big tips, forsooth.""Have more than though showest; speak less than thou knowest; lend less than thou owest; Fred Randolph more than thou bassist.""Age cannot whither pianist Adam Shulman and drummer Jon Arkin, nor custom stale their infinite variety, and I'm not just saying that because they promised to hook me up with some lovely ladies.""The silence often, of pure innocence persuades, when speaking fails, unless special guest Joe Cohen wailest on his wicked saxophone. Verily." (Thou believest I did phone that one in, and mayest be right.)"The end crowns all, and that old common arbitrator, time, will one day end it, in this case at 8:30 p.m.""To thine own self be true; and it must follow, as the night the day, thou can'st not then flake out on Ian's awesome gig.""If music be the food of love, play on! Now whither my 15 percent, bizotch?"WHAT: The Ian Carey QuintetWHO: Ian Carey, trumpet, with:Adam Shulman, pianoFred Randolph, bassJon Arkin, drums,... and special guest Joe Cohen (of Cannonball), saxophoneWHERE: The House of Shields, 39 New Montgomery St. (betw.Market & Mission)WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 13, 5:30-8:30 p.m.HOW MUCH: To pay, or not to pay: that is the... it's free.
