Posted this in another thread but it was kinda burried and was not the subject of the thread. Hope to see you.

BTW Chris' website is www.chrisgreenejazz.com if you want to hear some audio clips and see some pictures of us around the city.

Amen. Let me know if you guys come through the 'Ville.

Thanks Chris. We hope to make a trip that way in the Spring.

We are heading out on Thursday for a long weekend in Galesburg IL (at some club sponsored by knox college), Two in Peoria IL (art center and some club sponsored by bradley u) and a club called the Blue Shop in Burlington IA.

In January we are doing a concert and clinic at Creighton U in Omaha. I think they are working on gigs in Iowa City, Kansas City, and St. Louis.

There has been talk of heading the other way to Indianapolis, Louisville, and Cincinnati or Cleveland too. I'll keep you posted.

But "Mongo just pawn in game of life".

Awesome.

Marc....how did the gig go last night? Sorry I missed it. I only live about 25 minutes from there but I was busy elsewhere. Hopefully I can make it next Wednesday. Say hi to western IL for me.

Eric Hochberg · #11 10-18-2007, 03:30 PM

Marc and the band sounded really good last night and the packed house was very enthusiastic. These guys are playing for the people!

fingers · #12 10-21-2007, 05:54 PM

Thanks for kind words Eric!!!

We had a great time and sold a bunch of cds. The audiences are really hip there. We are usually there every third Wednesday but we are there Nov 28 because of the Thanksgiving Holiday.

We actually just got home from our mini cd release tour. It was a blast and we played to some great audiences in Galesburg, Peoria, and Burlington IA.

Come check us out if you can. This is a great group that I am very proud of.

Hey man, we showed up....place was pretty well packed-so we opted to just walk around the city in the rain instead. It's a goal of mine to hear you play there....and expose her to more jazz.

take it easy.

Cool. It was pretty packed. The band is working a ton right now. If anyone wants to go on the email gigspam list just let me know. PM me with your address.
