OVER AT the Living Room, jazz fans are lamenting the departure of Noel Okimoto and his big band gig on Thursday nights.
But if you're willing to stay up a little later, there's still a reason to visit. DeShannon Higa continues to host "grOOve.imProV.arTiSts," starting at 11:30 p.m.
Joining the trumpet-playing Higa are sax player Randy Wheeler and percussionist Jason Tabosa, with DJs Archangel, Miklos and Dawn spinning background beats for the musicians. It's a pretty ambitious concept, and worth a listen if you're out tonight ...
