Awesome, man!(click here)  

    Sep. 26, 2007  God, if you missed it, you really missed it.  Tetsuya Tatsumi was great.  Melodic, mellow, smooth.  And as the evening got on, he showed he can bop too.  And the group backing him was right on.  Satomi on piano, more than competent, Jeremy Ward on bass, he could play anywhere, and Darryl Pellegrini on drums, all pros.  Watch this website.  We're the only true jazz club in town.

       Sep. 21, 2007:  If you love the old jazz, if you like kicking back instead of stomping on, if you like the light melodic sounds of 50's jazz, then drop on by Wednesday, September 26, to hear, direct from Japan, Tetsuya Tatsumi Check out his website by clicking on his name.  There's a great little track of him on trumpet, cool, grooving sounds.  What else can I tell you?  It's not for old fogies, just the hip crowd.
