Ron Carter played on The Low End Theory with ATCQ. He should be in the hip hop notes.
What venue is Luis Faife playing in?
And Zack, I love the "Low End Theory", but Ron Carter played with Miles for a long time and in an influential quintet in the 60s. He definitely belongs here in TWiJ.
(Unless I missed your sarcasm)...
Oops, sorry for leaving that tidbit out. Luis Faife is playing at Twins.
The Rosslyn Jazz fest and the Silver Spring Jazz Fest are both on Saturday
