Cogito ergo bloggo

"I think, therefore I blog."

I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years and occasionally enjoy listening to a radio program called “Philosophy Talk” hosted by John Perry and Ken Taylor on Sunday mornings. They always end with an invitation to read their blog and quote the motto above, and I never fail to smile. Along those lines, I will contribute blog articles relating to musical and other topics of interest to me; please send any comments or thoughts my way.

Concert at Jazz Chez Hanny, San Francisco, Sunday February 12, 2023 @ 4:00 pm

SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 2023, 10:06 AM

The John Klopotowski Quartet with Jacob Zimmerman, alto saxophone and clarinet, Tom Elliott, bass, and Akira Tana, drums

I am happy to announce a jazz concert scheduled for 4:00 pm Sunday, February 12, 2023, at Jazz Chez Hanny in San Francisco. Seattle-based alto saxophonist Jacob Zimmerman, and Bay Area veterans Tom Elliott and Akira Tana will join me.

We will be paying tribute in musical performance to some departed heroes: alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and guitarist Jim Hall, and will also feature music associated with my teacher Warne Marsh and our collective mentor, Charlie Parker. Our concert in 2019 paid tribute to pianist and teacher Lennie Tristano, and his energy will again permeate our program in February.

Admission is $25; reservations are suggested. Jazz Chez Hanny has a maximum attendance of 35 people, and features a potluck meal during the intermission. Please come, enjoy this performance, and say hello!
