Press about Jazz at Fried Chicken Fridays at Aretsky's Patroon Restaurant
Here is a roundup of links I could find about my gig at Patroon on Fridays. There's a fair amount of duplication in actual content, including a persistent, less-than-accurate description of my music as "honky-tonk." I'm still working on that. It's been more jazz standards with a stride, bluesy, or New Orleans touch. Come listen and decide for yourself.- New York Social Diary
