'DUOCRACY' at Bird & Beckett, 10/5

Hi folks, I wanted to let you know about an exciting show coming up this Sunday at one of my favorite venues. Duocracy, a duo project with my friend the great pianist Ben Stolorow, with whom I recorded an album of the same name ("a lively trip down a straightahead path, deriving a refreshing joy from the familiar sights" —DownBeat) will be doing an intimate show this Sunday afternoon at Bird & Beckett, a long-time institution in San Francisco's almost unbearably cute Glen Park neighborhood.Duocracy focuses on classic tunes from the rare to the familiar, ranging from Gershwin and Gordon Jenkins to Thelonious Monk and Henry Mancini, plus occasional original tunes by Ben and myself. But within that repertoire, we aim for interplay, unpredictability, and surprise. (You can see us performing an old favorite below.)So please come on by if you're in the neighborhood (and pick up some books and records to support this great independent local business while you're at it)!WHAT: Duocracy (Ian Carey, trumpet & Ben Stolorow, piano)WHEN: Sunday, October 5, 4:30-6:30pWHERE: Bird & Beckett Books & Records, 653 Chenery St., San FranciscoHOW MUCH: $10 (suggested donation)
