THUNDERSTORMS - FRIDAY NIGHT JAZZ - DURHAM, NC

Yeah, I did get a little bit wet, but I had the pleasure of hearing the performance at THE SHED - Annalise Stalls + the Zen Poets.   They performed mostly original works that made for a couple of hours of enjoyable listening.  Hooray for THE SHED.  Keep it coming.

After this inspiration I made the journey up the street a ways to THE CUBAN REVOLUTION and allowed myself to enjoy The Ernest Turner Quartet -  Ernest Turner on keys, Michael Ode on drums, Jason Foureman on bass, and Stephen Riley on Tenor sax.  A treat followed by some late evening jazz conversations with musicians and jazz lovers.

 The WNCU live broadcast from THE CUBAN REVOLUTION happened earlier.  A thank you to the staff at WNCU for keeping that happening for us each last Friday of the month.

A good Friday night for JAZZ in Durham , NC.

 The EF2 PARTY is scheduled for Sept. 20th.  EMAIL invites coming shortly.
