SDP Jazz Note: Contemporary Jazz in a Local Venue

I was in Sioux Falls this weekend, and noticed some promising jazz and blues acts coming to that venue, courtesy of the Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues Society.  Chris Thomas King will be at the Orpheum Theater this friday.  King played the Robert Johnson character in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.  Better yet, Joe Lovano, a master tenor and soprano sax player, brings his quartet to the Orpheum on the 25th of January.  I plan to be there. 

Meanwhile check out In the Groove: Jazz and Beyond.  My friend Ken Laster hosts the contemporary jazz band Reincarnation.  It's lovely music.  Trust Laster.
