Three gigs, three days

Tonight! (Tuesday Feb. 17) Space Exchange presents Book Exchange: Ben Opie, Jeff Grubbs, and David Throckmorton. It's a great rhythm section and a fun opportunity for me to blow on some pieces I like. Thunderbird Cafe, Butler St near 40th in Lawrenceville, 9-midnight, free.

Tomorrow! Thoth Trio at the Pitt Student Center, Nordy's Place. Noon-1. Matt Booth ably fills in the bass seat this afternoon.

Thursday! Matt Booth and I will play duo style, opening for the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at the Aesthetic Parlour in Lawrenceville. Contact me for more details.

Sunday, Feb. 8

I got the call from Jeff Berman...he needed me to fill in at the James Street with his quartet again, so I'm there. 6-9pm.

While we're at it, this is happening earlier in the day:

I intend to be there.

Plus, support the Hollywood, they're a great institution.

This Saturday

Hey hey,

This last week was busy and I hope you were around to check things out. This Saturday, Matt Booth, David Throckmorton and I will be blowing some tunes at the UUBU 6 Restaurant on the Southside Slopes: http://www.uubu6.com/index.html 7-9pm.

Here's a very brief bit of the Hollywood gig on Sunday: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=789020624515182

This week's events

Saturday, Jan. 24: 4th Call will be appearing at the James Street Gastropub and Speakeasy 9pm-midnight. (http://jamesstreetgastropub.com/events-live-jazz-music-northside-pittsburgh-pa-dining-lunch-dinner-bar-restaurant/event.php?id=552) The listing will be for "David Throckmorton's Quartet", though we'll be five in number: John Petrucelli, Reggie Watkins, Matt Booth, Throck and myself. Mostly or all Thelonious Monk.

Sunday, Jan. 25: 3pm, I'll be in a duet with guitarist Josh Wulff, playing live accompaniment to the film Nanook of the North. I'm told some "oohs and ahs" went up when this was announced at the previous "Silents, Please!" event, so we're hoping for a good crowd. Would love to see you there! http://www.thehollywooddormont.org/calendar/

6-9pm: I pack up my gear and head over to the James St. again, to play with Jeff Berman's Blink (with Jeff Grubbs and Throck again). Two gigs in a day is not a record for me, but it is unusual. Especially two really fun events, for me at least.

In case you're interested, the debut Silk Sound CD is now available: http://www.silkscreenfestival.org/store/products/silk-sound-cd-sun-gate/ It's an edited version of our debut concert, and sounds quite good.

This last Tuesday

Thank you Australia!

Early January addendum

To add to a previous post, I'll be playing with George Jones' New View Trio (+ 1) at the James Street Speakeasy and Gastropub this coming Sunday, January 11 at 6pm. I'm happy to just be blowing some tunes sometimes, and George is one of the few guys who call me for a gig of any sort.

Tomorrow (Jan. 8) I'll be over at WESA answering questions about Silk Sound again. Don't know when it will be broadcast.
