Working on products, studying and gigging regular. Constant improvement...
Saturday February 6 will see Cool Fire appearing at the Quarternote for a Saturday afternoon of "soul jazz." We'll be there every Saturday from 4 until 7. Paul Diddens guitar and vocals, Gene Washington guitar and vocals, Bill Castro bass, Jerome Kimsey drums, Don Baraka sax flute keyboard & vocals. Jazz, rhythm and blues. The Quarternote has food, too.
Almost every Saturday night I'm with the Dogpatch Jazz Ensemble, 3rd Avenue and 22nd Street in San Francisco. Dennis Kong upright bass, Walt Hern drums, and pianist varies. Last week Ben Anjo, week before that Aaron Thompson. They surprise me.
February 20th the Dogpatch ensemble will add Christine Noble on vocals, John Graham on guitar and we'll appear at Bobby G's in Berkeley as "eBlues." That's an 8:30pm start.
Musician, actor, poet Carlos J Costa will be visiting mid-February, arranging venues for a CD release later in the year. Originally from San Mateo, Carlos is a master conguero, jazz flute, vocalist and poet. He'll be sitting in and we'll be hitting the jazz jams from the 17th until they beam him back up to Canada.
Here's wishing you the very best in 2010, and remember this quote from Ahmet Ertegun: "The best way to predict the future is to make it!"

Found your blog searching for my old friend, Jerome Kimsey. I've been trying to find him for years. If you can, please ask him to contact Sally in Tucson - he can google my full name & will find me easily. Thanks!
