Hello internet. Some new items to discuss that some of you may be interested in.

Gigs - I have a few that should be fun. The Jamie Rosenn Group is playing at the 1st and Central Summer Concert in Little Tokyo on Thursday July 24. That will be featuring Matt Otto on sax, Joe Bagg on piano, Ryan McGillicuddy on bass and Jason Harnell on drums and some of my lesser played originals. Also on the bill is pianist Gary Fukushima's group. I'm looking forward to it.

JoE-LeSs shOe with Otto and Harnell is playing at the Los Angeles Jazz Collective's Summer Mini Fest at the Pasadena Jazz Institute on August 1st. That festival also includes my brother Gabe's group, Los Devastrados. Two Rosenns for the price of one!

And Option 3 with Joe Bagg on organ and Jason Harnell filling in for Mark Ferber (informally referred to as "Option 3-ish") will be playing at the Angel City Jazz Festival on September 1st. Some great groups on that bill as well, including Nels Cline's tribute to Jimmy Giuffre.

Archived stuff - Option 3 recently played live in the studio on the Global Village show on KPFK. You can listen to it at this link.

And here are a few YouTube clips:
