So the Freddie Hubbard show I was supposed to see at the Scat Jazz Lounge tonight has been “postponed due to illness.” This is disappointing, but probably not as disappointing as seeing sick Freddie Hubbard play.

Oso Closo, a band filled mostly with friends of mine, is scheduled to be the rock band for several productions of the Who’s Tommy this September.

Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of the first Pat Metheny Group album. In response to this, I just purchased the album Fictionary, by Lyle Mays, Marc Johnson and Jack DeJohnette.

Also, I’m still listening to tons of Steely Dan, in anticipation of their Grand Prairie show next month.
