Tate's Keeps swinging

Tonight marks the start of our 4th year of Jazz Night at Tate's Bar in Winston-Salem. Jazz night is an open jazz night meaning people can sit in. The host group is me, Matt Kendrick on bass, John Wilson on drums and Ken Rhodes on piano. Tate's is a long narrow bar that serves good drinks. It is a bar which they allow us to turn into a Jazz spot once  a week. The audiences have been good in many ways. Good listeners, good people and good numbers. This enables the gig to continue. The people sitting in are very good. The level of musician is high. I'm amazed and very grateful for the scene that has developed here. We have a real piano and a small PA. Everything is pretty much acoustic.
