Secret Society's clandestine infiltration of the jazz establishment begins anew as we return from summer hiatus, and return to The Jazz Gallery (having made our debut at the west SoHo space in April of this year). Truly, can a Down Beat cover story, lavish major label recording contract, and whirlwind international tour be far behind? With Secret Society set to perform at the 2008 IAJE convention, no doubt we will soon be catapulted to Chuck Mangione-like levels of fame. Yes, the day is fast approaching when we too will be banned from the Umbria Jazz Festival for heaping scorn and abuse upon thousands of fans -- but you, my friends, will be able to proudly claim that you were scorned and abused by Secret Society back when they were cool. Mayhap even afore they were cool.
The performance will include some never-before-heard compositions from yrs trly, inflected by
the mellifluous voices of Ingrid Jensen, Sam Sadigursky, James Hirschfeld, and
all your favorite co-conspirators. Join us as we revel in the
bacchanalian pleasures of euphonious spectacle -- before we all become
old, jaded, and indifferent.
2 sets - 9:00 PM and 10:30 PM. $12. Tickets at the door, or in advance here. The Jazz Gallery is at 290 Hudson St.

You've always been cool, to me.
Nice embedded map.
Scroll? Do people still "do the rounds"?

Yeah, amazingly enough, most people still check the blogs via web browsers instead of RSS readers.

Great show last night! Sorry I could only stay for the first set. Love the new Ironman trailer inspired tune!

"Ferromagnetic" is probably the first time a jazzblog debate has been given its own song.
