Weekend edition: Hempton vs the Hurricane in a blow-off launch of "The Business"

The cooler Mr Hempton and the Nick Hempton band are launching their second CD "The Business" in New York on Saturday Night.



Smalls Jazz Club
183 W10th Street @7th Ave
New York, NY
7.30 - 10pm
Not only is Nick better looking than me but he blows almost as hard as Irene and much much cooler. The reviews have been universally good - but I will understand if you think you need to be home sandbagging...

PS. Apart from Irene I wish I was in New York for this. I will be in Early October (client visits). By then the wind might have died down...

    As a New York jazz musician, it's really great to see you promoting this CD and the jazz club, Smalls! I urge all NYC residents and visitors to run on down to Smalls (as soon as Irene leaves town...lol)...

    Okay, fill me in please.

    New Yorkers tell me Mike Bloomberg's become quite the drama queen lately (overly concerned about Irene).

    Wow, I started reading your blog a while back as I'm a programmer working in finance, but I'm also a jazz guitarist and have seen your brother(?) play a number of times! really sounds great and this is a great band, yotam is one of the best guitarists on the scene.

    very cool coincidence.

    Thanks for the plug, Ick! Turnout was quite respectable (considering the storm and lack of public transport), but the web stream was a hit- record numbers watching online! We'll do it again soon. See you in October. Cheers, N
