(And if it's not, then nonetheless it's good to know you also enjoy music beyond that specific genre.)
So are you in a position to get HRO to cut a CD sometime? I really dug them at HJDF and next time I go to NYC I'm going to go out of my way to catch them at Luci's.
*Maybe not official info*
HRO are cutting a CD as we are sitting around right now. Release scheduled before or during the summer if my info is correct. How final this is I don't know...
I'll guess they'll release info on their website when they know dates and stuff.

I really liked HRO at Harlem, but my favorite was Lily Wilde at the Portland exchange a couple of years ago --- her full in-town band was there (normally when we see her in Seattle she has a traveling band), and it was an excellent combination of a hot band, a good floor, enough room to dance, and plenty of great leads.
Her tenor sax player has started a new smaller band called Porkpie, they played at the Seattle exchange last year and were excellent.
Both bands are playing at this year's exchange

No doubt. I've seen him get excited about orange juice.
ShortyD, spill. Send me a PM or something.

I talked to Shorty Dave this weekend and I got some band member out of him. We are talking about Jazz Legends here. I'll be there. I trust Shorty Dave.

So...when do we get to know who's in this band?
(Sorry if that was already mentioned and I just missed it.)
