Here’s an article the Nashville Scene ran last week in their Critic’s Picks for my last F. Scott’s gig. Speaking of last, tomorrow is my last day of hibernation down south. Tomorrow, I pack up the guitars and head back to Brooklyn. I have a lot to blog about, but it will have to wait until I’m in NYC. Right now, I gotta go throw stuff in the back of my car. Here’s the review ...

JUSTIN THOMPSON was a fixture on the Nashville jazz scene before departing a few years ago for New York City. A smooth crooner and incendiary guitarist (he’s a rabid Django-phile, though by no means an imitator), Thompson wrote nearly all of the music on 2006’s Brand New Same Old Obsessions, a collection of old-school swing, ballads, the occasional pop number and even a cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that sounds like a cross between late-’60s Miles and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. A warning to the fellas: Thompson’s got the kind of laid-back delivery-- somewhere between Chet Baker and Harry Connick Jr.-- that makes the women swoon, so grab your date and skedaddle before he goes on break. 7:30 p.m. at F. Scott’s -- JACK SILVERMAN
