Jazz/World/etc gigs this week 11-28 to 12-4 2012

Update Friday 11-30: New gigs posted by Mercedes Nicole and the Cherry-Poppin' Daddies, and don't forget the Jams at Darrell's on Sunday, Paratii on Monday and Mac's on Tuesday!
This week, several great jam sessions, Barbie Anaka's Birthday Bash, a Belly Dance-off (sounds like you can lose a few lbs just watching this!), and the 350s w Joe Doria sitting in at Darrell's! Plus lots more, of course. As always, invite me on FB or through email to get your gigs listed - also, tip for musicians - make a one-line description of your event. I can't post your whole blurb, and I know we all think everybody knows us already, but guess what - they don't! So give them a clue! And double check your listings - I'm still getting listings with no address on them, no start time, etc - so proofread your stuff! And I will update over the weekend for those of you who haven't posted your show yet
