Ken Fowser @ Smalls

Sorry for the lack of Sick Gigz postings lately, but this one is sure to make up for lost time. Tonight (or really tomorrow morning) at 1:30 am, Ken Fowser and his band are hosting the late night jam session at Smalls Jazz Club. Tonights performance will feature the sick nasty bassist Nate Allen who happens to be one of the inspirations for this brilliant website. You don't want to miss this one.

Jon Irabagon's Outright! CD Release Party @ Fat Cat, Friday June 27th

For the first of many Sick Gigz postings to come, I have decided to write about one of the inspirations for this brilliant webpage, Jon Irabagon.

Jon's band, "Outright!" which features Trumpeter Russ Johnson, Pianist/Keyboardist Kris Davis, Drummer Jeff Davis and Bassist Eivind Opsvik, has recently been reviewed on allaboutjazz.com and you can check it out here.

Jon is also the founder of the wonderful 80's pop tribute band "Starship's Journey." One of the greatest tribute bands to grace New York City.

For more info on Jon, check out his myspace which is linked above.
