steve colson & ernest dawkins at the velvet lounge, july 14th.
"The intricate textures and gnarly harmonies of his work certainly attest to the influence of the Chicago-based Association for the Advancement of CreativeMusicians (AACM), a music collective that was in its first ascendancy when Colson arrived here in the late 1960s..."we've always stayed connected to Chicago," says Colson, who considers the city's penchant for the farthest reaches of jazz experimentation one of its greatest cultural assets." -- Howard Reich, Tribune arts critic.

great club (even totally non-smoking), great players, and ernest dawkins is a chicago gem...should be heard playing by anyone interested in jazz saxophone (empahsis on the word, Jazz -- not any of this crossover crap.
Dude,
It's been forever since we've hung out. Fortunately for you, I'm going to be in Chicago next week. Taking the bar exam. Which sucks. However, I'm going to be there Wednesday night and a lot of Thursday, too, if you want to hang out. Let me know.
