Howard returns for another engagement this month at the city's storied jazz room THE KNICKERBOCKER on December 18-20. Sets will be all acoustic and will feature violinist Jenny Scheinman each night (Jenny's recent collaborators have included Bill Frissell, Norah Jones and Marc Ribot). Howard and Jenny will be joined on bass by a different player each night; Jim Whitney, Tom Hubbard and Greg Cohen, respectively. Expect a jazz and standards repertoire with a sprinkling of originals and blues.
