Announcements: Trio, 08/30/07

Hi folks, hope you've all been enjoying your summers, staying out of the poison oak, getting your wallet-making merit badges and avoiding the dreaded "Slip 'N' Slide burn." Now that regular summer is winding down and Indian (Native American?) Summer is on the way, may I suggest you celebrate by enjoying a delicious and nutritious after-work cocktail and taking in some fine jazz music? I have just the place in mind. ("How conveeenient," you say.)

Next Thursday, August 30th, bassist Noah Schenker and I will be playing at the Parc 55 Hotel, and we'll be joined by the great pianist Matt Clark, all the way from New York. Matt was a fixture on the Bay Area jazz scene for many years before heading East several years ago, and we're lucky to get a chance to play with him during his summer visit. We'll be playing a combination of standards, jazz classics, and originals.

Most importantly, there's no cover charge, so no one has to know that you nearly bankrupted yourself going to see Harry Potter 30 times.

What: The Ian Carey Trio, with special guest Matt Clark
When: Thursday, August 30, 7-10 p.m.
Where: The Parc 55 Hotel, 55 Cyril Magnin St., San Francisco (415) 392-8000
How Much: Nada.
