Inspired by equal parts Miles Davis' Kind of
Blue and Tom Waits' Nighthawks at the Diner, we finally put this project together...and the rehearsal was damn fine!
Here's the official skinny:
Comedian Mario DiGiorgio (
Comedy Central, Montreal's Just For
Laughs Festival) will share the stage with accomplished musicians Derek
Phelps on trumpet (Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears); drummer Andy
Beaudoin (E.C.F.A.) and Joe Sokolic on upright bass (Hard Proof
Afrobeat).
While integrating music and comedy is not entirely
uncharted territory, we're excited to hear the results of a 45-minute
comedy act backed by three solid musicians.
Kool kats and kittens
welcome.
