shameless plug redux

another reminder about the gig tonight...

...plus i'm playing with the portland jazz composer's ensemble tomorrow. we are doing a radio broadcast on kmhd (89.1fm or kmhd.org) from 2-3pm, and will be playing at the community music center at 8pm. it's a great band playing some wonderful new compositions by local composers.

shameless plug

we will be playing a mix of standards and ben macy originals. yes, it will be good.
