ejp626 Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Posted March 4, 2005 Yeah, I'll be there. And I'm about to buy tickets to Stanko and Grimes?. March is shaping up to be an excellent month for live jazz. I do wish I had known about the Dave Douglas show. Actually this thread should be moved to Live Shows, but I have no idea how to do that. Maybe the moderator can work some magic. Quote
