outcats at sardines tuesday

avant-garde jazz at sardines? it's a-happenin' at 9pm this tuesday, august 8th.

scenario: chicago-based percussionist joshua manchester called long-standing sardines ivory-tickler johnny case to see about the possibility of hustling a gig during a brief visit to the fort. it occurred to johnny that tuesday's usually a slow night for the restaurant, so it was decided: after playing an abbreviated version of his normal dinner set from 7 to 8:30pm, johnny will break to allow his guest and some local friends to set up. never heard of manchester, but with a line-up that includes multi-instrumentalists joey carter and chris white and young bass firebrand daniel stone as well as case (who recorded an album in the free idiom back in the early '80s), it's an occasion ripe with possibilities.
