There are three months to go in my favourite pictures of 2006 series but I am taking a short break to flag up a couple of gigs I have this weekend.

My bass and I will be doing a couple of jazz gigs in South West London this weekend with The Adrian Astor Quintet:

• Friday 12 January at the RamJam Club, Kingston, supporting Project 96. AAQ onstage from 8:30 – 9:30pm.
