11/22/19 Jazz & Blues Revue - My Favorite Things

My Favorite Time Of The Year - Party On!

One of my favorite things each year is when I get to perform our Holiday Show with the Jazz & Blues Revue: an 8-piece group featuring three fabulous female singers, Courtney Lemmon, Gina Saputo and Crystal Starr. This year we have a new location at the ROOFTOP of the La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood. This will be the FIFTH year doing this mix of R&B Christmas tunes and the new location is festive and fun. $25 cover charge, doors open at 6:00 for dinner and the music starts at 7:30, so come join us on

SUNDAY DECEMBER 8.

This song, made famous by the unlikely combination of Julie Andrews and John Coltrane, is a perfect blend of styles for the group: A holilday standard with a jazz pedigree,  Here is a performance (with 55,000+ views on YouTube!) of the Jazz & Blues Revue performaing my arrangement of MY FAVORITE THINGS.

11/15/19 Van Morrison - Bring It On Home

Van Morrison - Bring It On Home To Me (2017)

Somehow, unlike his contemporaries Roger Daltry, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, Van Morrison seems to sound better every year and continues to tour and put out music at a furious rate. In case you didn't notice, he has been putting out two albums a year of new material in the last few years! His latest,
Three Chords And The Truth is another triumph, check it out!

This video from 2017 shows Van doing what he does best, singing a classic Sam Cooke with his soulful band (those back up singers!!)

Van continues his never-ending tour in Las Vegas in January, and Yoshi's in Oakland CA in February.
