Bennett/Anamizu duo: 19:30 start
|
I'm delighted to announce the first duo gig with the wonderful drummer Eriko Anamizu. I've heard her on a number of occasions now, and I've been waiting for the right chance to join her in making some music. I'll be on the legendary three-string guitar and vocal, singing a selection of original tunes and covers. Eriko-san will be on drums.
We're up first on the bill, music starting at 19:30 sharp, and following our duo will be Yuri Ikemiya Inoue's quartet, the Swing Brothers. My buddy and King Cake Baby bassist is a member of that unit. And they feature a trombonist, for you 'bone lovers. As far as I'm concerned, we don't hear nearly enough trombone playing here in Tokyo! Should be a fun evening overall. Cover charge is a mere 2000 yen. The venue is Frida, a small but agreeable little tequila bar located just a couple minute's walk from JR Nishi Ogikubo station. If you don't know the place, let me tell you that their selection of tequila is unrivalled in Tokyo! You think you know tequila? It's quite possible you don't, exactly! The varieties on offer there are astonishing. |

This is a quarterly poetry/music event organized by poet Jeffrey Johnson and yours truly. This will be the fourth go-round, and we have a nice lineup of wordsmiths and songsters for your entertainment and edification.
Ryozan Park Lounge is a unique venue for Tokyo: it's quite spacious and comfortable, with a variety of seating options (sofas, armchairs, dinner table chairs, booth style, you name it). There's tasty food on offer and of course a full bar. And you'll think you're in some cross between a Scottish manor and an Alpine lodge. Definitely different. And note: on the way to Ryozan Park LOUNGE, you’ll see, on your right, a building with a sign saying “Ryozan Park”, but that’s not the lounge. You wanna just keep walking a wee bit further, and the Lounge will be on your right, just after the road curves. Doors open: 18:00 Start time: 19:00 Cover charge: ¥2000 Ryozan Park Lounge 〒170-0002 Tokyo, Toshima City, Sugamo, 1 Chome−6−6 ヴィラ東邦ホワイトテラス |
