Rand had his portable audio recorder going the other night at Highwire, and he's posted the trio's performance of Sonnymoon for Two, an inflectious Sonny Rollins blues Chris Enghauser taught us a couple of weeks ago at Square One. Check it out. And be sure to listen for Mike Beshara's solo turn at bass.

Last night during the first set at the Highwire, pianist Rand Lines called for a Bb blues. Rand played the head to the Sonny Rollins tune "Sonnymoon for Two." During the solos, Mike Beshara went beast on bass. I don't know how many choruses he took, but I would have given him more if he'd wanted them. And get this: Rand told me during the first break that Mike already had played two gigs yesterday! Great work, Mike! Looking forward to hearing you and the trio again soon. -- Bob

We're headed over to Seth's place -- Hendershot's -- on Oglethorpe just inside the loop (next door to Transmet) this evening to take in the performance of the Rand Lines Trio with Seth sitting in on drums. Starts at 8. And Dan Nettles is passing along the cool news that Kenosha Kid has locked down the first Thursday of every month at Hendershot's. Our newest jazz venue is taking shape.
