Fat Cat 2nite - Domaine Wine Bar tomorrow

Greetings.  Tonight you will find me playing latin jazz with Willie Martinez and La Familia Sextet  in the West Village at Fat Cat, my favorite jazz/pool/foosball/table tennis bar.  It's a scene there, and it'll be an awesome, hard hitting band.

Willie Martinez: drums/vocals
Misha Tsiganov: piano
Donald "Spider" Nicks: bass
Renato Thoms: percussion
Maximilian Schweiger: baritone saxophone
J. Walter Hawkes: trombone

Tomorrow (Wednesday) I'll be leading a trio with Bennett Paster on piano and Jim Whitney on bass at Domaine Bar a Vins in LIC.  We'll be sweetly strolling, like sugar plums, up to North Pole Lane for the holly-est, jolliest holiday show EVER!  
ahem.  er.   uh...  ew.

We'll play some holiday tunes, some other tunes...  It'll be a great little hang in the 'hood.

That's all I got.  You'll find the details for the above mentioned joy to the multitudes by clicking the "gig schedule" link to the right.


Take care, 
Merry/Happy, 
May the force™ be with you.

Domaine Wine Bar Wednesday - Bell House Dec 8

Greetings. So it begins. The holiday season is officially on after "black" Friday and "Cyber" Monday. I haven't figured out if I love to hate it or hate to love it, but I've always had a love/hate thing going on with this. Being merry is a full time job ye gots to do on top of your other full time job(s) if you're lucky enough to have one(them.) That's why, instead of being merry this holiday season, I'll be Samwise or Frodo. I think it has a nice ring to it.

See what I did there? Star Wars is coming out in a couple weeks and here I am making Lord Of The Rings jokes. I'm freakin' nuts! Mixin' it up, man.

Tomorrow I'll be playing merrily with Jon Cowherd on piano and Tim Luntzel on the bass for your wine and cheese at Domaine Bar a Vins in beautiful Long Island City.

Tuesday, Dec 8th will be a night to remember. I'll be playing with a whole lot of performers, including Sasha Dobson, The Pre-War Ponies, Pat Irwin, and more. I'm giving you advance notice on this, as I do think it's going to be a great show and you'll be glad you made it out.

Thursday Dec 10th, you'll find me playing trombone, ukulele and glockenspiel with Daria Grace and The Pre-War Ponies at Barbès for the merriest version of our monthly hang.

You can find all the updated details of the above mentioned shows, as well as a look into the rest of the week by clicking on the "gig schedule" link to the right.

Take care,
