Hey all! It’s been an incredibly exciting weekend: sound engineer Kris Umezawa’s baby was born Friday, and Gene’s second son was born LAST NIGHT. (He’s already on a jazz schedule, arriving late and starting up at 1 AM.)
Both Kris and Gene will be at tonight’s sold-out Birdland show, perhaps a little sleep-deprived but probably rather euphoric. Please feel free to bring cigars for them…and also to join us after the show at ZANZIBAR.
(Gene and Kris will most likely scoot back to their respective hospitals, but Brendan and Val will be delighted to have a celebratory drink with you!)

We’ll probably get there around 9:15ish – the show ends at 8:30, and then we’ll be signing CDs and packing up gear. See you tonight…

Oh–I’m sorry that it’s sold-out, I had hoped to go. I’ll just have to wait for the next NYC show. Good for you that it sold out, though! Have a great time.
Birdland is so cool…BEST SHOW EVER!I say that every time.Timing is everything,with babies,and that when we got to Birdland and were being taken to our seats,the man said,we do have one more table next to the stage,would you like that?woo hoo!so much fun.Thanks so much.
Hey! You guys don’t know me, but I first went to one of your concerts a few…3??? ish years ago at Theatre Under the Stars in New Jersey.
I found your CD titled Just The Three of Us, and I found myself falling in love with it all over again.
Its so great to see that you’re all still doing well.
