The first and third Tuesday of every month my band, the Acme Jazz Company plays at the Shorewood Bar and Grill. Even if you are secluded in the most remote corner of the twitterverse or have only 2 friends on Facebook, this is probably not news to you. We have been playing at the Shorewood for over a year now, and except for the fact that they seem determined to NEVER get their stage door fixed (which is a HUGE issue for upright bassists, drummers and keyboard players) it is a pretty good gig. The room is great. The house not only tolerates Jazz, but really embraces it and the crowd (being any group that out numbers the band) are almost always good.
Last night was a pretty good night for us as a band. Playing publicly a couple hours a couple times a month is a very good thing for me. If you are ever looking for something to do on a Tuesday night in Minneapolis, head on out to the Shorewood Bar and Grill in Fridley. There is a good chance that we will be playing, and you might enjoy what you hear.
My regular Metheny diatribe will return next time... Now I am a bit tired.
Here is a
tune from the evening. Pure Gold is the bass feature. We don't play it much...
