[Dixielandjazz] The Ear Inn, NYC

Fri Mar 11 11:16:56 PST 2011

Anyone going to be in the NYC area, don't miss this.  

This Sunday, March 13th, 8-11pm-ish at
the Ear Inn
The EarRegulars will be:
me, Jon Kellso on trumpet,
Matt Munisteri on guitar,
Pete Martinez on clarinet,
and Greg Cohen on bass.
We'll be playing some good ol' good ones - come join in on the fun!
I strongly advise you get there early
 to make sure you secure your spot,
and bring an appetite if you wanna sit at a table near the band.
There's yummy inexpensive food served late.
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).
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 attraction at the Ear Inn:
Sunday, March 20th multi-instrumentalist
Scott Robinson
 will bring his musical alchemy to our lab,
and Pat O'Leary
 will be enabling with his bass, alongside Mr. Munisteri and myself.
We'll be celebrating the late great Ruby Braff
's birthday/week (which is actually March 16th).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mondays and Tuesdays from 8-11:00 pm
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 cash cover, $15 minimum, or 1 drink minimum at the bar.
Reservations:
212-719-5799
. 11 piece 20s and 30s style band, fun stuff!
Listen and watch for us on the hit HBO series, "Boardwalk Empire."
We've also recorded a bunch of music for the upcoming HBO mini-series, "Mildred Pierce."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday, March 18th, 7pm at the Met Museum
 in the Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium:
I'll be performing with
Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks
-
The Roaring Twenties - Upbeat tempos recapture the hot stomps of the speakeasies,
the music of Tin Pan Alley, and the great American songbook.

The EarRegulars have been getting some good press--
Didja see this recent
Will Friedwald
article in the Wall Street Journal
?
http://on.wsj.com/fYum6c
He talked about the EarRegulars and
featured us among his Valentine's Day date recommendations.
Big color picture of me, too.
Nate Chinen
 included The EarRegulars in his
JazzTimes
 article about the 10
most memorable performances he saw during in 2010:

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."
I bought her a bathroom scale.
