Jazz on the Patio/Los Angeles/Little Tokyo
This is a nice cozy set for all of you jazz lovers. The Chop Suey Café, 347 E. 1st Street, Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, 213-617-9990, features some talented cats that you should check out first chance you get. Gary Fukushima is on piano, Matt Otto wields the tenor sax, Chris Hackman on double bass, and Ryan Doyle is on the drums. I know it's a last minute update, but you can catch the group this evening, Thursday, March 8th, 7:30-9:30. And then, it's back to the salt mines Friday.
It took me years to admit that local talent can often be as hot as the big names. Well, that-and a budget that had to be eyed more carefully than I'd like to admit. Such is life, and it's these little nuances that often move us beyond ordinary biography. I don't think you'll be disappointed. By the way, there's no cover charge.
