[Dixielandjazz] If In NY Around Christmas

[Robert Ringwald]

If you are going to be in Manhattan this Christmas here is something you don't want to miss.  

>From Jon-Erik Kellso:

NOTE:
The EarRegulars will NOT be at
the Ear Inn
this Sunday, Dec. 19th
,
but we'll be back as usual the following Sunday, Dec. 26th,
with Harry Allen on tenor sax and Nicki Parrott on bass
joining me (Jon Kellso) and guitarist Matt Munisteri.
Best to get to
the Ear
early
 to make sure you secure your spot,
and bring an appetite if you wanna sit at a table near the band.
The Ear Inn is at
326 Spring St.
,
between Washington and Greenwich Streets,
way out west near the Holland Tunnel.
It's one of the oldest bars in New York
with a very interesting history going back to 1817.
No cover or minimum, but please visit our friend "Phillup DeBucket"
(that's our subtle way of letting you know we have a tip jar).
There's yummy inexpensive food served late.
Come as you are, say hi to Victor,
the coolest bartender ever, and the hip waitstaff...it's always a fun hang!
Parking's usually pretty easy there,
or you can take the 1 train to Houston, exit via King St.,
then walk south 3 blocks and west 3 blocks,
or take the C or E train to Spring St., and walk west a few blocks.

Sneak Peek coming attractions:
Jan. 2nd--John Allred will be killin' it with his tramboon.

Jan. 9th--Scott Robinson on misc. winds, and Greg Cohen
 on bass will stir things up!

Jan. 16th--Marks the return of Lopey! Look out!

Jan. 23rd--tenor saxophonist Tad Schull
 will play with us for the 1st time. I can't wait!

Jan. 30th--reed man Dan Block will join us--always fun!

It's been plenty busy at the Ear
 lately, but we miss seeing some of you dedicated jazz listeners there.
Please lemmeno your thoughts regarding what might make you
 wanna come out to hear us at the
Ear Inn more often.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mondays and Tuesdays from 8-11:00 pm
(except I won't be there this Monday, Dec. 20th)
I play with
Vince Giordano's Nighthawks
in the Club Cache',
downstairs from Sofia's in the Hotel Edison
 at 221 W. 46th St.
between Broadway and 8th Ave., NYC, for your dining, dancing, and toe-tapping pleasure!
$15 cover, $15 minimum, or 1 drink minimum at the bar.
Reservations: 212-719-5799. 11 piece 20s and 30s style big band, fun stuff!
Listen and watch for us on the hit HBO series, "Boardwalk Empire."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wednesday, Dec. 29th
 I'll be with David Ostwald's Louis Armstrong Centennial Band (a.k.a. the Gully Low
Jazz Band) at
Birdland
on W. 44th St. between 8th and 9th avenues from
5:30-7:15.
$10 cover--less than a movie ticket!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Years Eve, Friday, Dec. 31st
I'll be with Vince Giordano's Nighthawks at
Feinstein's at the Lowe's Regency in NYC.
  Come ring in the new year with us, and dance the night away!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
