Jazz, excellent, in Los Angeles, and FREE!
Sigh. One of these days I’ll actually start, y’know, blogging on this blog. This is not that day, but I want to bring this to the attention of all Los Angeles & Vicinity folk:
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (aka LACMA) presents FREE JAZZ on Friday nights from 6 to 8pm — yes, I said FREE! — outdoors on its (new) Central Court. Beer & wine can be bought. The museum itself is open until 9pm — and after 5 pm, museum admission is “pay what you wish.” But the jazz is utterly FREE.
And THIS Friday, 15 May 2009, the FREE jazz is the Greg Porée Group. I’ve been a fan of Greg and his music for Quite Some Time, so I will be there, my current wife will be there, and if you like jazz, then you should be there.
Sad I missed this, but happy it’s going on again. I’ll have to stop by some future Friday.
You Utterly Have To Indeed, and you must also let us feed and/or beer you as well. Mayhaps once you’re back from your little bike ride?
Haha! I cannot turn that offer down, though I suspect I still owe you and the Mrs a dinner as well. =)
Let’s figure out a time after my D.C. trip next week. =)
You’re Biking to D.C.?! Kewl! * reads your blog * Oh, you’re taking the red-eye. Slightly less, but still, awesome. The group looks pretty awesome as well (tho their website they could use a proofreader; if they really want Ms. Clinton and Mr. Cage to show up, they oughta spell their names right).
Have fun, do good, take pix, we’ll talk next week!
I like jazz. I LOVE blues. I once saw what I THOUGHT was a pretty good blues band in New Orleans. But they were cheating. The bass player had his eyes open.
rimshot!
I once considered writing a blues song, but I broke too many of the rules.
