Holiday Jazz Band for any event.

January 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Bass, Piano, Drums, Jazz, Bossa Nova makes a successful event.

It’s a Holiday Party on Broadway!!! December 2008
Local Long Beach merchants on Broadway stayed open late serving up live music, holiday beverages and tasty treats – along with amazing shopping deals.

Sasha wanted to be the best party on the block, so she hired us to play live music.

Wow, what an excellent idea. Live music will make any party the best.

Video footage from the stage.

Not too bad for singing with one hand on the camera and the other hand on a shaker.

Scholarship Concert Oct. 14th…

October 7, 2007 · 2 Comments

In case you are wondering why I have not been around, or why I have been hard to get a hold of, it’s because I have been preparing for the Scholarship Concert on Sunday October 14th. All the Long Beach City College groups performing in have been working hard. It smells like gym everywhere and its hard to find a practice room.

I will be singing in The Studio Singers Jazz Choir and playing bass for the City Jazz Big Band.

There will be performances by:
The Studio Singers, directed by Tom Dustman
Viking Chorale, directed by Skye Angulo
Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Marshall Fulbright
Wind Ensemble, conducted by Brian Hamilton
City Jazz Big Band, directed by Wayne Brashear

Tickets are $10 each or $25 for a Family Ticket (admits up to 4)

You can find me in the Tenor section (on the right in the picture above.) There are four tenors this semester. We are out numbered by the other sections which forces us to sing a little louder sometimes.
We have been working on a Spanish and English version of “Sway” by Norman Gimbel and Pablo Beltran Ruiz, arranged by Kirby Shaw. Kirby Shaw has brought us cool arrangements in the past. There is some nice dissonance in the last chord (Dm69).

Click here if you want to see some pictures from the last tour. Caution, some pictures may get a little silly.
