Rev It Up!, a new coffee shop in the Uptown neighborhood on West Main Street, will be hosting weekly jazz in January starting this Friday. Rev It Up! took over the spot that Main Street Java (and before that, Common Cup) vacated when it closed in August.

The CMP Group — Marcus Tenney on tenor sax, Paul Willson on guitar, Kevin Johnson on drums, and Chris Harrison on bass — will be holding down the gig and jam session weekly on Fridays in January and every other week come February. With the exception of Tenney, all members are VCU students, and one of the group’s last gigs was at the VCU Jazz @ The Camel night in December.

This gig will fill multiple voids, like (without going too far into whether each of these voids actually should or need to be filled, but you can in the comments) the lack of jazz on that side of campus, Friday evening shows that start and end while the night is still young, and coffee-shop jazz.
