Our small band, the Dean Solden Trio with Surry Scheerer, played a couple of nice sets at Godaiko Japanese restaurant Saturday night and a fine time was had by all, not least because just before we started the Michigan Wolverines pulled out a last second home victory against Penn State.

Kirin and sushi are excellent accompaniments to live jazz. Watch this space, we are hoping to make this a monthly occasion, and Godaiko is also opening a new restaurant in Novi! They made us very welcome and the food was great.

Here is my worksheet for the Holly Cole Trio's rendition of Cole Porter's "Get Out of Town". It's just a bass part, I don't try to write out real piano chords. I think I'm gonna have to transpose this for Surry also.

The Dean Solden Trio with Surry Scheerer will appear Saturday night October 29 at Goodnite Gracie's in Ann Arbor.

The ii-V-I Orchestra will appear 6:30 to 9:00 Sunday night October 30 at the Creekside Grille west of Ann Arbor.
