Brubeck has been here a couple of times in recent years at the Sheldon, and will play there again in October. In contrast, I think Allyson played the Bistro once a few years ago, and I'm sure Klugh has been here before, though I couldn't say exactly when. Neither Vasandani nor Lovano has played St. Louis AFAIK, and knowing that Lovano's going to be in KC soon makes me wonder why someone didn't book him in St. Louis, too...Dean Mindermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849119270850790787noreply@blogger.com
