And Then Two Come Along At Once….

So I learned earlier this week that one of my favourite young trumpeters, Roy Hargrove is going to be at the Catalina Bar and Grill from Wednesday through this weekend…

…and -bizarrely enough- one of my favourite young saxophonists, James Carter is going to be at the Jazz Bakery precisely the same dates!

So it is going to be quite a weekend. It’s been a while since I’ve seen either of these guys (not since the Village Vanguard in New York, I think… Happy days.). Of course I must go and see them, for old times sake, and to make some new times….
