A friend of mine, Mark Manley, www.manrilla.net recently went to shoot some photos of a great jazz guitarist at Chris's Jazz Cafe, www.chrisjazzcafe.com I saw his work and immediately wanted to get back onto the Philadelphia Jazz Scene. A few years ago, I would be down to the jazz clubs at least 3 nights a week. Since then, I've gotten married, I have a different job, I've had a son, and life has gotten a little bit too hectic to keep up that schedule. Just to go down and see some of the people perform that I used to would bring back fond memories, although that was only about 5 years ago. A lot has changed since then. New people are probably hittin' the stage, Zanzibar Blue recently closed, www.zanzibarblue.com and my favorite place Ortlieb's Jazz Haus, www.ortliebsjazzhaus.com is under new management. Through all of these changes, I'm sure the music is contantly growing. Younger cats are coming up more eager than ever to prove themselves on open mic night. I think this week I will definately have to get out and see what's goin on out there. I'm sure I'll take along my camera and next week you can check back to see what's new out there.
