What better to do on a Friday night than go to a concert. My brother picked me up from school at about five thirty, and we started off to San Jose where we would soon be listening to the sounds of four well-liked bands: Gas Light Anthem, Thrice, Alkaline Trio, and Rise Against.


From wikipedia:
Hampton Hawes (November 13, 1928 – May 22, 1977) was an African American jazz pianist.

The highly regarded bebop pianist Hampton Hawes was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. His father, Hampton Hawes, Sr., was minister of the Westminster Presbysterian Church, and his mother was the church pianist. Hawes was reported to have been able to pick out fairly complex tunes on the piano at the age of two. Entirely self-taught, by his teens Hawes was playing with some of the best jazz musicians on the West Coast, including Dexter Gordon, Wardell Gray, Sonny Criss, and Art Pepper. His second professional job, at 19, was playing for eight months with the Howard McGhee Quintet at the Hi De Ho club, in a group that included Charlie Parker.
