Last night, I played a fun gig at Tony Starlight’s with Shelly Rudolph’s band. The band played great and was a good combination of people - Dave Captein, Russ Kleiner, and Clay Giberson.
Here are a couple of tracks from the performance:

All About Jazz published an extensive review/recap of the Portland Jazz Festival today in their online edition. There’s also a shorter version that appears in this month’s print version of All About Jazz:New York. I’m mentioned a couple of times in the local section - once for sitting in with Dan Balmer’s band and the other for the casual gig Russ Kleiner put together at the Tugboat with Damian Erskine, Dan Duval, and myself. Here’s the article.
Last night, I covered Renato’s chair with the Mel Brown Septet. The gig was a lot of fun, but the gig is definitely significantly more difficult for me on tenor than on alto. Time to put some more hours in on that horn.
Lots of work recently on JazzPDX.org (new features rolling out very soon) and JazzPDX Design - the new design/hosting/marketing service I’m starting. As much fun as the computer stuff is, I’m really looking forward to fun gigs in April with Shelly Rudolph, Matt Weiers, etc.
