But nothing beats being in the room
with the music & the musicians!

Friday, October 20th – 6-8pm
jazz in the bookshop Friday happy hour show
Scott Foster / Sheldon Brown Duo

Guitar and Saxophone Explorations

The evening will feature an eclectic mix of jazz, original and improvised music for guitar and saxophone in an intimate duo setting. Scott and Sheldon are reuniting after a long hiatus and say they’re looking forward to sharing work from their collaboration 25 years ago and updating their work together with developments that have sprung up in the interim. 

Says Sheldon, they’ll play “some tunes of his, some tunes of mine, a couple Andrew Hill tunes, a couple Choros, a Don Byas tune, some Mingus stuff…” and he promises they’ll have a few surprises by show time Friday the 20th.  

Bring a friend, bring the kids, bring the grandfolks… all welcome. Pay what you can — a twenty is the sweet spot if you’re here for the show and can afford it, but stay for however long suits you and pay what you like.

byob, if you think you might get thirsty. We’ll keep the lights up for browsing & socializing ’til the last couple of tunes, but hush a bit on those quiet passages. You’ll love the music you hear, we’re sure!
