MONDAY NIGHT JAZZ IN DURHAM, NC

THE SHED provides an opportunity to continue hearing some good jazz music.  If you want to feel a range of jazz approaches check out Ernest Turner doing sessions at THE SHED 8-9pm tonight and enjoy the jam session that follows.  If you play, bring your instrument and join in,  You might even hear a number inspired by one of my long time ago jazz experiences.  I finally was able to be in the right place at the right time and the musicians were kind enough to play "ED's Big Night Out".  Composed by one of our local jazz guitar players, James Gilmore.  It was very enjoyable.  Thanks James.  I hope it catches on.

Don't forget upcoming events.  Oct. 20th Lenora Helms, November 22nd NCCU Benefit Concert.

MANY, MANY GOOD SOUNDS FOR US TO ENJOY - RIP PHIL WOODS

https://www.wbgo.org/internal/mediaplayer/?podcastID=6843  If you can go to this link you'll be able to hear an interview with the great sax player that was recorded some years back. Or just go to WBGO.org and you shold be able to track it down.  You can also find a great piece of Phil Woods fine work at the end of Paul Simon's "Have A Good Time" recording. (That may be one reason why that song by Paul Simon has been one of my guidelines for living for a number of years.)

1ST THURSDAY JAZZ BEYU 7--9PM MICHAEL JONES

The title line means show up for lots of good sounds, a bunch of good fun, provided by some fine musicians.  Who could ask for more?
