this from jazz gtrist extraordinaire sam walker:

Fort Worth's Thelonious Monk Tribute Band will be playing at Jazz by the Boulevard on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 6:00-7:00PM on the Heritage Stage. If you are familiar with Fort Worth this is in front of the Will Rogers complex on West Lancaster. The group consists of:

Joey Carter - piano
Rick Stitzel - trumpet
Dave Williams - tenor sax
Sam Walker - guitar
Ryan Hagler - bass
Pete Wehner - drums

We will be playing music by Thelonious Monk, mostly his more obscure compositions.

Also, another group led by Rick Stitzel will be playing on Sunday, Sept 23, at 4:30PM on the Main Stage. This group will be playing the music of A. C. Jobim and will include Rick's daughter singing in Portuguese. Most of the musicians from the Monk group are also involved in the Jobim group with the exception of the bass position. Lou Carfa will be handling the bass duties in the Jobim group.
