The best for last
End 2006 on a high
note
I’m tellin’ ya: this
fall’s line-up is fantastic. There’s something for everybody or something for the everybody in all of us — you know, those of us who
wallow in all kinds of music. Classic rockers like Alice Cooper and The Black
Crowes. Oddball, out-there stuff like Wolf Eyes and Baby
Gramps. Tons of way-cool avant-garde jazz brought to you by The Bop
Shop. More mainstream jazz with a scoop of hubba-hubba a la Jane Monheit.
There’s the incredibly loud Jucifer, the bittersweet Southern gothic Dame
Darcy, and the ’70s Soul Jam with some old-school soul champs for those needing
to get their much-needed groove back.
I could go on and on
and on and…so just take a look, wouldya?
