Thank you for all of your support and great comments about the site! I never really know how well it works or looks to other folks, so I’m glad it works as well as I’d hoped.
Tuesday night I headed down to the Dexter and Hayes pub to play standards and straight-ahead jazz with Gravity, a trio featuring Tim Kennedy, Ian Sheridan, and Claudio Rochat-Felix. These guys know so much about so many different styles of music, but when it’s time to throw down and play a certain type of material, they just get into it and always sound super tight and burning. Plus, they always have a lot of fun doing it.
The people at the D&H know all this too. There are the regulars, young and old, that come through and get hugs from the guys, hang out with them, and throw some money in the tip jar, but there are also always at least one to two people that end up sitting in one of the booths and really digging the music. Then there are the musicians that come through too. There are definitely slow Tuesdays sometimes, like anywhere, but when it’s cracking it’s really cracking. It’s too bad this session and the jam session at the Owl and Thistle are the same night, as the Owl attracts the same badass musicians, and is really the only other steady straight-ahead session in town.
