You'll hear musicians saying stuff like this:

"We're over at the old 'Mingo's'"

"You know, where Baby Grand used to be..."

Clubs move, rename, fold...it's hard to keep track of the latest venues. So, our thanks go out to Jelando "Jerry" Johnson, who's sent us the latest update on a couple of poppin' Monday night jam sessions, and the clubs that host them:

King Leo's is located at 4546 Griggs and the phone number is (713) 741-5105. It's the original Monday Night Jazz Jam from 8:30 to 12:30 with Leo Polk on vocals and trumpet, Dave Marcellin on keyboards, Dr. Carl Lott on drums and yours truly on bass.

MacGregor Place is the old Mingo's and Club Excell on Macgregor Drive 2541 N. MacGregor Way. 713-529-0009. On Mondays from 7:00 to 11:00pm it's Phil Blackmon on keyboards, Al Kennedy on bass and Vernon Daniels on drums. Later!!!!!
