MONDAY NIGHT JAZZ, TUESDAY NIGHT JAZZ, WEDNESDAY NIGHT JAZZ

MONDAY NIGHT JAZZ at THE SHED with the Ernest Turner Trio was good as usual.  The jam session looks like it can handle more folks.  Tuesday Night Jazz  at ALLEY 26 is happening tonight. Wednesday Night Jazz Jam at the BEYU Caffe is on the schedule for tomorrow.  It's right here in Durham, NC.  Outstanding!

WHAT'S GOING ON????

I suggest going on the internet for upcoming schedules for BEYU Caffe, SHARP 9 Gallery, THE SHED,  and individual musician's websites.  The answer to the question about what's going on in live jazz in Durham, NC and environs is A WHOLE LOT!  And the gigs are happening now.  If you're a jazz lover, I'd be willing to bet a buck or two that you can find someplace, or several places to catch some good live jazz almost any night of the week.  I stopped in on the Cool 21 Jazz Trio  at Alley 26 last night. Baxter Smith on piano, Ed Moon on bass, Donovan Cheatham on drums  It was enjoyable.  This was Tuesday night in Durham, NC.  RIGHT ON!  I hope we jazz lovers can show support for the musicians and venues that are offering us the chance for some of the best medicine in the world - MUSIC  in general, JAZZ in particular.  Hope to see a bunch more of you out and about enjoying and supporting.  Kobie's jam is at BEYU tonight.  The BU PROJECT is at THE SHED Thursday night 8pm start,  and another one of our smokin' usual subjects jazz groups, The Michael Jones Trio, Michael Jones on keys, Bill Hayes on drums, Ellis Merlin on bass, is at BEYU  Thursday 7-9pm.  I'm having a good time just talking about what's going on!

Worthy of mention as usual is our great radio station, WNCU/90.7FM, streaming 24hours a day at wncu.org.  They just keep bringing it on.  Thank you folks. " Keep  the cards and letters coming."
