Sounds at SOhO

Club jazz gets its due at SOhO this week, with a series of local shows. M.O.B. Quintet reconvenes for an eclectic blend of Euro-Brazil progressive jazz and music from the 1970s ECM/Fusion era on October 8. Italian pianist Antonio Artese, who oscillates between our local foothills and the hills of Tuscany, hooks up again with Santa Barbara stalwarts Jim Connolly on double bass and Matt Perko on drums for an October 9 gig drawing from AA’s album Two Worlds. And singer Kimberly Ford brings her Dreamland tribute to Joni Mitchell back to SOhO on October 12… Also of note, modern pop singer-songwriter Zella Day and Southern raised, Austin-based country folksinger Jesse Woods (not to be confused with Ronnie Woods’ son) have merged their seemingly distinct genres as “Chaparelle.” Hear if what is aimed at recapturing the enduring allure the male-female duos of country music’s golden age is the real thing, despite the interesting spelling, on October 11.
