I'm the editor and publisher of a jazz newsletter for Athens GA, and my latest issue is up. Photograph: Guitarist Eric Mellan. Eric performs with his combo, A Sharp Turn, at the Athens Farmers Market downtown adjacent to Little Kings Shuffle Club on Tuesday afternoon around 4:00 p.m. Bob Brussack.

If you haven't seen this, you're in for a treat. If you have seen it, you probably can't get enough of it, so here it is again.

Here's a date change for all of us Marty Winkler fans. Marty had been set to perform at the Indigo Hotel's Phi Bar for the Live After Five series this coming Thursday, July 15, with Mitch Rothstein on keys. The gig has been moved to the next Thursday, July 22, and Michael Steele will accompany on bass. 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. No cover. I don't know yet who's taking the July 15 slot, and I don't know whether the hotel has rescheduled Gwen Hughes, who was to perform on July 22. Photograph by Bob Brussack.

Monday night is jam night at Cine, our art house downtown. House band Sonny Got Blue sets up around 6:00 pm. Last tune around 8:30 pm. No cover.
