Don Menza playing to the couches at the Strathallan
City Paper missed one highlight for this week. Tenor sax player Don Menza will be playing with Bob Sneider on Friday, Aug 4th, in the bar at the Strathallan, just off East Ave., from 9:30 pm - 1:00 am. Menza, born in Buffalo, played with Maynard Ferguson, did a short bit with Stan Kenton, and worked with Buddy Rich, Elvin Jones, and Louie Bellson. Check them out in the Strathallan’s intimate space (go early so you can sit in those great leather couches…).
I was sorry I couldn’t break away Friday night to see the show. I hope you were able to make it.

It was great, although my single malt scotch was way too good and amply poured for me to make the second set (I had spent the earlier part of the evening at a new spot listening to Paradigm Shift). More later . . . We’ll get it together soon.
