TT: Words to the wise
To jazz buffs outside New York City, Frank Kimbrough is probably best known as the pianist for Maria Schneider's big band. If you live around here, you'll have heard him in any number of other contexts, both on his own and as an indispensable sideman. Either way, he's one of my favorite jazz pianists, but I've never heard him play a solo recital, so it's great news that he's planning to do just that.The date is this Sunday, Dec. 14. The place is the Blah Blah Lounge in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I've never been there, but Frank, who has high standards when it comes to clubs and their pianos, describes it as "a rarity, an intimate space with a good piano, minimal listening distractions (the bar is in another room), and a friendly staff. CDs will be available if you wish to purchase them. This concert is not widely advertised, so please forward this message to any friends who may be interested. Thanks for supporting the music, and I look forward to seeing you."

Two sets, at 8:30 and 10, with a $7 music charge and a $5 minimum. Tell Frank I sent you.
