Bassist Al Obidinski, a wonderfully funny, droll, down to earth & supremely hip bass player, one of the great human beings, passed away last month. We’re more than sad that he’s gone. This evening, his bandstand colleagues in the long-running residence of the 230 Jones Street band created and nurtured by the late tenor player Chuck Peterson and now led by drummer Tony Johnson will pay tribute with special attention to some tunes Al played during his time with Benny Goodman and stories from many decades of friendship.

Bring your own beverage and some dough to help us pay these six musicians! $20-30 donation requested, though you needn’t let lack of funds keep you home. Come help us celebrate a fine jazz musician, and donate what you can. No reservations needed, just come early and we’ll dole out the seats first to those most in need of one!
