January 19, 200818 yr Any Bay Area head-casers going to the April Sonny Rollins concert in Berkeley? http://www.calperfs.berkeley.edu/presents/season/2007/jazz/sr.php If there are, we should meet up and grab a beer or something.
January 19, 200818 yr Jp and I saw him in Miami last year. Definitely a must see. He is one of the living legends. Catch him while you can.
January 19, 200818 yr The SF Jazz Collective on March 15 is another must-see show at Zellerbach. Still not sure why they are playing there instead of in SF as an official part of the Spring Season at SF Jazz, but there it is. Any interest?
January 19, 200818 yr What shows are there around MOA time? Not as much as I was hoping for, that is for sure. Great American Music Hall in SF has a show I think would be fun on Friday night. May Gauthier and Mark Olson, founder of the Jayhawks. She has a great voice and they are co-headlining so it might be interesting.

January 22, 200818 yr I'd be up for any, depending on the mood of others, but the Social Distortion show has my vote.
