Jazz in New England

Last night we journeyed to Woonsocket, Rhode Island to see sax great Greg Abate play a gig at Chans Egg Roll and Jazz. We had a great evening, and it reminded me how fortunate we are here in New England. It's not NYC, where you can catch a dozen big name jazz artists on any given Saturday evening. But if you look hard enough, you can find some great, if not well known cats blowin' some modern jazz at a supper club, high school gym, or theater. Tonights show features some of those hard working jazz cats pursuing their art. If you appreciate that art in your neck of the woods, go out and attend these gigs. Show these musicians you care.
