Topic: What's Happening? / Ian Carey Quintet in Berkeley, CA, Weds. 4/23

Hello Listeners:

I’d like to invite you to come out to Anna’s Jazz Island in Berkeley next Wednesday night for the first appearance of my quintet this year.

We’re going to be doing a bunch of new material, including some hot-off-the-press originals, along with rarities from Keith Jarrett, Ornette Coleman, Steve Lacy, and other groovy composers. We just rehearsed yesterday, and I must modestly say that the band is smokin’ (as the young folks say).

Please feel free to pass on this information to anyone you know who also likes good music (or jazz islands).

WHAT: The Ian Carey Quintet
WHO: Ian Carey, trumpet, with: Matt Clark, piano; Evan Francis, alto saxophone & flute; Kurt Kotheimer, bass; and (visiting from New York) Tim Bulkley on drums
WHEN: Wednesday, April 23, 8:00-11:30pm
WHERE: Anna’s Jazz Island, 2120 Allston Way, Berkeley, (510) 841-JAZZ
HOW MUCH: $8

The Ian Carey Quintet’s CD, Sink/Swim, is available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/iancarey.

“Carey’s themes are catchy and original, and all the improvisations are fresh and inventive, highlighted by Evan Francis’s sparkling saxophone and Carey’s own warm, flowing trumpet work.”
—Lewis Porter, jazz scholar/educator (Rutgers University), author of Jazz: From Its Origins to the Present and John Coltrane: His Life and Music.
