* To earn a coveted spot on this listing, a gig must include at least two of the following: A decent piano (i.e., can't be festering roadkill) , a nice listening environment (the band has to be louder than the television), and one or more pieces of original music (because, face it, every version of "Summertime" risks being more heinous than the one before it). That said, I play many other gigs that won't be listed but are still well worth checking out, so feel free to email me to ask where you can hear me on any given night. Don't forget that you can find me every Wednesday at the New Orleans Creole Restaurant, 114 1st Ave. South in Pioneer Square, 8:00 - 11:00, with the Floyd Standifer Legacy Quartet (Phil Sparks on bass, Clarence Acox on drums, and a rotating cast of hornmen in front). Tasty, inexpensive food (I recommend the seafood gumbo), a welcoming environment, enthusiastic regulars, and good, accessible straight-ahead jazz. You'll like it...
