Dear friends, fans, and well-wishers: Please excuse the shameless self-hype (hey, if no one else will do it ... ), but Fred's got a brand new gig at a fab new restaurant/bar in Chicago called LEXI'S ... good vibes, good eats, good tones. I'm there most Thursday and Friday nights playing solo (including this week, 6/7 & 8), and once in awhile on a Saturday night in duo with bass. The Little Bit O' Joni Content? I will be playing tunes from my album "Songs of My Youth, Vol. 1" including some Joni, Dylan, Beatles, and Leonard Cohen. In addition to which, repertoire from the "Great American Songbook" (Gershwin, Berlin, Rodgers, Porter, Carmichael, etc.). Also, "modern" jazz repertoire (Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny, Keith Jarrett, Ralph Towner, etc). And, of course, a healthy sampling of my own compositions. If you're in the area, please c'mon down, have a bite, a sip, and dig a gig, won't you? Later, Fred ============================== FRED SIMON DUO Fred Simon - piano * Rob Amster - bass Saturday, June 9, 2001 * 7:30 - 11:30 p.m. LEXI'S * 1330 W.
