Stanley Clarke in Indianapolis

So it happens every year - the fine festival folks of Indianapolis choose one date in June and dump a horrendous amount of events on one day. That day is this Saturday:

• Independent Music and Art Festival at the Harrison Center
• Circle City IN Pride Fest
• Talbot St. Art Fair
• LCi Art Fair

This all happens during the day, leaving most folks tired and full by the time the evening rolls around. However, this wouldn't be much of a bass blog if I didn't mention the visit of Stanley Clarke to our very own Jazz Kitchen this Saturday. The last couple times he came through town were stops at the Vogue and the Murat (with Return To Forever), so the small club visit is surprising and welcome.The fact that Hiromi Uehara holds down the keyboards on this show makes it even more appealing - she's a headliner on her own. So, even with everything going on that day, this should still be on your bass calendar.

You don't maintain a separate bass calendar.

Nevermind, that was silly.
