Happening spot tonight

Thursday night at Grappolo's has to be, hands down, the premier jazz gig on the central coast. All the serious cats around here will agree.
Even though it's a frat style college hang, it is the most happening spot for three reasons;

1) It's a small joint, tiny. People pack in there like sardines, and it's loud. This makes it so people HAVE to listen. It's too loud to ignore. Intimate.

2) People clap and applaud after solos and songs. Amazing, people pay attention here. After playing so many crappy 'dinner sets' where you are essentially background music that no one pays attention to, it's quite refreshing. There's a about a dozen or so people that show up every thursday specifically for the music as well. That really makes it worth it.

3) The amount of incredibly hot women that wear next to nothing that hang out there. The type of women that would have nothing to do with a guy like me, cause I don't have a lot of money or belong to a fraternity, but they hang out there and they enjoy the music. Not that I would have anything to do with them either, they are the typically shallow type. But they dance, and they look good doing it. And that always helps.

It's a little surreal. People that you wouldn't think would be into jazz get down and dig it. The funny part is when we're done playing and the bartenders immediately throw on the hip hop club music and everyone starts REALLY partying. It turns into a 'club' scene. But whatever, we rocked the place tonight.

Turn this mother out.
