FRANKFURT MESSE
It looks like I will be able to get to the Frankfurt Messe for one day only on March 28. I will have to sprint around greeting the Pearls, the Sabians and the Vic Firths because directly afterwards I have some gigs with Bruce Adams and Alan Barnes in the Stuttgart area which should crackle with energy. Martin Schrack, old pal and great pianist on many of my adventures, has fixed two sessions, March 29 in his home village of Rechberghausen and March 30 in the Jazzfabrik, Waiblingen. Then on March 31 Bruce, Alan and I join clarinettist Charles Höllering in the Traditional Jazz Hall in Stuttgart itself.
