My husband and bass player Bob Bowman has been busy playing in Kansas City, MO area. I am looking forward to a concert at a theatre in Westport Coffee House by Bob Bowman Sextet this Thursday. They will play Bob’s original tunes arranged by saxophonist Brad Gregory who is Bob’s long time friend and studied jazz in North Texas University as Bob did. He also has been to Billings, MT for his business. Another interesting ties through music!
