Save the Date: CD Release Show 3/10 @ Coda

Hi Friends & Listeners:

I'm excited to announce that we've scheduled the official CD release show next month for the Ian Carey Quintet's new album on Kabocha Records, Contextualizin'. The show will be hosted by Coda Jazz Supper Club, a great new venue in San Francisco's inner Mission district. The details:

WHAT: Contextualizin' CD Release Show
WHO: The Ian Carey Quintet, featuring Ian Carey, trumpet & flugelhorn; Adam Shulman, Fender Rhodes piano; Evan Francis, saxophone & flute; Fred Randolph, bass; and Jon Arkin, drums (+ special guests!)
WHERE: Coda, 1710 Mission Street, SF
WHEN: Wednesday, March 10, 7-9:30pm
HOW MUCH: $5

I'd love to get as many folks out to hear us as possible, so if you can only make it to one show of mine this year, this should be the one.

The album will make its radio debut and be available online and at select stores on 2/16 (UPDATE: now available!) and of course copies will be available at the show.

Hope to see you there!

UPDATE: Contextualizin' has its first review, from Midwest Record:

Carey has a solid jazz education and foundation in that he was lucky enough to have a slew of your fave jazzbos as teachers along the course of his musical education. Getting his inspiration from the source, he plays with a real feel and understanding of what it's all about. A trumpeter that knows how to give the rest of his ensemble some, he's one of those cats you don't really know that can load the deck with originals and not scare you away. Certainly a welcoming release, he shows he has everything it takes to go the distance and delight us all the way... this is clearly the real deal.
