Upcoming Performance (and rehearsal)

Coming up on August 26, Nova will be playing its usual gig at O’Gara’s Shamrock room in St. Paul. As preparation for this performance, the band will be rehearsing at John Ahern’s house, where we will be carefully adjusting tempos, articulations, and other important musical details.

Here are some important things to keep in mind about Tuesday night’s performance:

  1. The performance is in no way connected to the closing of the Olympic Games
  2. As a consequence, there will be no cute Chinese girl lip syncing

Summer 2008: What’s happening?

The Nova band is currently working on recording its 7th CD! Of course, in the summer individual schedules mean that 16 or 17 musicians are going in 16 or 17 different directions, but the CD is sure to get recorded and we’ll be sure to let you know when it hits the street. By the way, Nova’s 6th CD, An Odd Christmas, was well received. Read a review at All About Jazz dot com.
