Thank you, Ann.
My winning formula in these small, dark music venues:
- fast, short tele prime (eg 50mm 1.4), wide open,
- high ISO (eg 1600 on the K20),
- RAW,
- aperture priority,
- places/things to brace yourself against while shooting (chair arms,
table tops, walls),
- some noise reduction s/w in PP (LR3 is doing it for me now)
- if the brightest light is only on the musicians, use center or spot
metering; otherwise matrix should be fine.
Lastly: worst-case, be prepared to pack it in and just enjoy the music. :-)

Those work well, Bruce ..
I had a disastrous time trying to shoot my friend Dominic Duval
playing bass with sax player Joe McPhee a few weeks ago... but the
music was great.
