Mitch Watkins, Eddie Gomez, Gato's B.D !!

Some wonderful music on the horizon that I'd like to share with you!

Next Thursday Jan. 29th
Suzi Stern (that's me) with Mitch Watkins on Guitar and Evan "Sticky" Arredondo on Bass.
A sweet trio, doing tunes off the cuff!  I'm excited about re-visiting some fabulous standards that I've abandoned for many years.  No arrangements...just 3 friends listening and responding to each other and seeing what magical musical conversation transpires! I haven't played with Mitch in a while (He was touring with Leonard Cohen for 2 years) so I'm really looking forward to this!
