Thursday night at The Cedar, B-Side is presenting Sessions I. This will be the first session of a set of collaboration of jazz artists who will make your tongue tingle...in a good way..? There are a couple local guys, Dean Magraw and Brandon Wozniak joining the other heavy hitters on stage. George Porter Jr, Johnny Vidacovich and Joe Krown finish up this amazing line up. Also Joe Krown is playing a little pre-show at the newly opened Bradstreet restaurant and bar on the first floor of the Graves|601 hotel. This is going on from 5-6, and if you aren't cool enough to make the time to see these guys at 7, just try to check out Krown playing some piano while you sip on specialty cocktails. Oh yeah...he plays the Hammond B-3 as well....so can you go to the show at The Cedar now? Yes.

Friday I'm looking forward to going to see Alex Rossi and the Root City Band play at Bunkers. I haven't seen these guys before but the guy at the door at Narrows Saloon told me they are definitely worth paying attention to. Funk, horns, soul and awesomeness I think is what's in store for the evening.

Saturday it's back to Narrows Saloon in Navarre, MN. This place might be out of the way, but it's worth the trip and it's pretty much a guarantee that you won't run into any clubbing losers from downtown. The Irresistibles are playing, and the same guy that told me about Root City, told me about these guys. I dunno why, but I trust him. So they are playing selections from Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. I'm excited.
