It was a Big Night on the Adventures of the CoffeeBar Kid - on Thursday.

Oh, yeah. It's a big night we have interviews from Bob Cranshaw, Bassist with Sonny Rollins (who plays the Michael Fowler Centre this Saturday nite!).



Sonny Rollins is the original saxophone colossus, a name he earned playing alongside jazz greats Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis. Now 80, he is one of the great bebop saxophonists, and still has incredible form playing with the energy of a man half his age.



His only New Zealand concert, this is a rare treat for jazz devotees to see one of the world’s finest musicians on stage.

The CoffeeBar Kid will be going along, courtesy of the Festival, to review the show, so stay tuned next week for the review!



We also have Paul Gurney, who's front man with the De Sotos - Alt blues/Country Outfit - playing at the San Francisco Bath House tonite!!






And... a new Book Report - Barbara Eden's New Biography : Genie Out of The Bottle.
