Since you can’t stay in to watch Canadian hockey anymore why not get out for a little jazz this evening.

The Spencer Barefield Quartet from Detroit is in tonight for a two night stay at the Rex. Check him out at spencerbarefield.com

Not to be out done, the Montreal Bistro has had Joanne Brackeen Trio with Terry Clarke & Don Thompson nightly since Tuesday.

“A pianist-composer of phenomenal capacity” – Bill Evans

They finnish up there stay Saturday Feb. 25 so you better make some time.

Your taste a little more eclectic? Check out Time Warp at The Red Guitar.

“While still firmly rooted in the long tradition of improvised jazz music, the band’s vast repertoire has grown to include original compositions influenced by the rhythms and harmonic structures of West African music, Japanese koto music, Hungarian folk songs, North American urban funk rhythms, New Orleans parade music, country waltzes, and more.”

I think that covers just about everything that needs to be said.

Cheers!
