jazz guitar night

made it out to sardines late (got off work at 7:30), and so missed keith wingate's solo set, but got to hear sam walker weave his bebop magic with nimble bassist jonathan fisher, then both gtrists with jonathan, drummer steve waller, and host jhon kahsen's pianner. sam, the mind behind the monk tribute "thelonious," is the fort's answer to jim hall -- not flashy, but always musical, while papa keith ignites more fireworks, as befits a cat who's digested the influences of mclaughlin, metheny, scofield, et al. small turnout, but it's nice that the matarese family believes in subsidising the arts. if you weren't there, you missed it.
