Bassist Eddie Gomez @ Scat Jazz Lounge Tuesday night

Bassist extraordinaire Eddie Gomez will be at the Scat Jazz Lounge (111 W. 4th St.) downtown from 8-11:30pm Tuesday night, 10.5.2010. Best known as a member of pianist Bill Evans' '70s trio, Gomez brings a trio including pianist Stefan Karlsson and drummer Ed Soph to the Scat. Word is that the Scat's management is looking to see what kind of crowd a national jazz artist like Gomez can pull, and if response is favorable enough, the door will be open for marquee acts like Wallace Roney, Chris Potter, Fred Hersch, Bill Frisell, and Don Byron to grace its stage. Maybe a tall order for a Tuesday night, but its an opportunity for jazz lovers in the Fort to put their money where their collective mouth is. Tickets are $15. Buy 'em here.
