A clarinet that moves you
Evan Christopher is playing at Cafe Istanbul on Saturday, April 14th – Suleyman stopped by to chat on the porch this afternoon and said everyone is talking about this show. As well they should be. I missed Evan and Chuck Perkins at the Mint the other day and I’m still kicking myself.
Sunday, April 15th – Evan’s doing his Jazz Brunch at Clever again – if you haven’t been, you’ve never been to a JAZZ brunch like this one. It’s JAZZ and it’s Brunch and one does not compete with the other – they both are stand alone fabulous. Hey it’s tax day and maybe you might get a refund this year – what better way than to spend it on yourself – treat yourself to Jazz.
Then Monday night you can catch Evan again at Chickie Wah Wah (7:30 till) for an International Jam Session.
Did you know that Evan is appearing as himself at Jazz Fest this year – yes, this is the first year he is the billing. Okay, yeah, we know, he has deserved it forever, but it’s nice to know that Jazz Fest finally recognizes him for who he is – a damn good clarinetist.
So if you want to hear some fantastic jazz and you’re in New Orleans and you simply can’t handle the crowds at French Quarter Fest check out Cafe Istanbul Saturday night or wake up to JAZZ on Sunday morning, or have a beer and chill out at Chickie Wah Wah Monday night.
Now you have JAZZ JAZZ JAZZ.
