Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday is your last chance to catch the Syracuse Stage's production of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. This is the first play of the 2008-2009 season. It's directed by Tim Bond. Where is the Hondo Mesa Records connection? Ah.... the music playing in the lobby is HMR's own 3rd & Main, the Syracuse based cool noir jazz band.
This 3rd & Main CD was reviewed by The Post-Standard music critic, Mark Bialczak in April 2007. Mark said, "3rd & Main puts out a very hip, all-original jazz sound...3rd & Main's cast of Gil Lopez on guitar and vocals, Chris Kneisel on guitar and effects, Mark Eich on bass and Ken Hart on drums weaves a cool effect throughout."
If you can't get tickets to Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, you can still here clips from the 3rd & Main CD at CDBaby.com.
