Paul Yonemura and Friends - Erik Jekabson, Bob Kenmotsu, Frank Martin, Cindy Browne-Rosefield, and yours truly on drums, are part of an ongoing Sunday concert series, put on by the Livermore Jazz Society. It's a house concert, location TBA, plus it is livestreamed on FaceBook.

Come join the Studio 6 Big Band and hear the music of composer Don Piestrup.
