I absolutely know what you mean about B&J's bookings. Hard to know if they will be good or not--but this time I will say this one is. I fully stand by my rather positive review of this group. They aren't like some of the recent raucous blues bands that have played there over the last year, but are actually very musical and say something with their music.

Any reviews of Cici & Natural Jazz? House of Blues & Jazz are a bit inconsistent in their bookings - some great, some dreadful. Pls let us know, honestly.
