ABOUT TONIGHT BEYU CAFFE $12 IRA WIGGINS

Available to be heard tonight at BEYU -  Dr. Wiggins bringing back some Frank Foster, Frank Wess, etc. - at least for me.  Jasmine Best on drums - haven't heard her for a while, but the one time I did, she was smokin'.  Ed P. and Lance need no introduction.  Do yourself a favor and go enjoy this!
