Hello friends, hope you all are doing well. Please forgive the impersonal nature of this post...
I'm doing a little promo work for a group called the Talento Jazz Orchestra, of which I am a small part (I play the upright bass).
It is a big band with 17 musicians. We are playing at Café Central next week, from February 13th through the 19th. The music we play is a mix of classics from the big bands of Ellington and Basie along with original compositions by the director, Santiago de la Muela, who also plays guitar.
For more information, check out the Café Central website (click on "calendario")
Hola amigos mios ¿Que tal todos? Espero que bien. Por favor perdona el caracter impersonal de este mensaje.
Estoy haciendo un poco de promoción para un grupo que se llama La Talento Jazz Orchestra, de la cual yo formo una pequeña parte (toco el contrabajo).
Es una big band de 17 músicos. Tocamos en el Café Central la semana que viene, del 13 al 19 de febrero. El repertorio es una mezcla de clásicos de las big bands de Ellington o Basie y composiciones originales del director, Santiago de la Muela, también guitarrista.

that said, the lovely ena, carmen and i will be going to see christian and his cronies on tuesday night, feb. 14th.
show is at 10pm but if anyone wants to join us let me know and we can meet up before the concert for a bite/sip near plaza santa ana
let's make a get-together of this gang!!!
saludos, jer...
p.d. xian, do we have to get tix in advance or just pay at the door? if at the door, will it pack out or can we just show at like 9:30 and expect to get a good table?
Thanks for spreading the word, I am happy you, ena, and carmen will be coming! We'll do our best to get you in the mood for your vacation... they have guinness on tap!
I'm not sure how crowded it will be on Tuesday but the best way to get a good seat is to reserve in advance.
That said, the club is configured in such a way that even the bad seats are pretty decent. (done with mirrors).
Also, here's the address and phone number of the place, in case people need it.
Plaza del Angel 10 Tel. 91 369 41 43
thanks to the mm community

Hey Candy (and anyone else who can't make it tonight)--I'm going on Friday night. I'm going to try to get there around 9:30ish. Let me know if you want to come and I'll try to save a spot for you.

no problem. hopefully you can come out another time. (For example, to the jam session on tuesday the 21st at bogui.) The piano player happens to know some Professor Longhair tunes, if that rocks your boat.
