It’s Friday, January 5th. Happy New Year.

Tomorrow, you’re invited to brave the snow and head out to Chrysalis Vineyards in Middleburg to hear some solo piano work. If we get more than five inches I’ll play Winter Wonderland.

Also exciting, on Friday, January 12, I’ll be with a trio at C'est Bon, the new spot by Savoir Fare in Round Hill. C'est Bon’s Night Music Series features community events several times a month. Come see live music, enjoy a delicious meal from Savoir Fare Catering and drinks from the raptor bar.

In DC? Join Sweet Something fronted by vocalist Ariana Harbin at The Thompson DC on either January 10 or 24.

Finally, the Christmas craziness is past, so bassist Kevin Johnson and I will be at Travinia Italian Kitchen every single Tuesday and Thursday in January. (Well…on the 25th Kevin won’t be there, but I’ll be joined by bassist Jacob Pembelton.)

As always, if you’re in Loudoun County, check the Loudoun Jazz Society’s calendar for a list of the rest of the jazz happenings—there are a lot of great players working out there! Mark your calendars for the Battle of the Big Bands on March 9. I won’t be playing, but I will be in attendance.

Again, Happy New Year. See you around jazz town.
