Wonk at the Baked Potato in Studio City

If you're in the Studio City area tonight, go see the groove/funk/jazz band WONK!who is playing at 9:30 at the famed Baked Potato club.

The hybrid band features the dexterous players Joel Alpers (drums), Dan Boissy (sax), Derek Frank (bass), Anthony King (guitar) and Justin Reinhardt (keys) and they play a jazz/funk blend that sounds a lot like a 1970's cop show theme. Jazz fusion is probably the best description. Cool and funky.

They play their own stuff and also fusion tunes by people like drummer Billy Cobham did in the 70's. Sometimes they even throw out a 70's cop show theme (CHiPS anyone?)

Its a treat to see them play, so head on over to The Baked Potato at 9:30. The club is located at 3787 Cahuenga Blvd. West, Studio City, CA.
