Jimmy Mak's or The Blue Monk (Dr. Lonnie Smith just played there last week) are the places to check out in Portland. Some others along the west coast would be Sam Bond's Garage in Eugene, OR and The Mobius in Asland, OR. Check out Moody's in Truckee, CA, Downtown Brewing Co in San Luis Obisbo, Pearl's Jazz in Frisco, the Baked Potato in LA, and Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz. (I'll PM you all the contact info tomorrow). As far as Seattle goes, just say the word and I'll hook up a Reptet/Organissimo double bill. What time frame are you guys looking at?

It's a CD which contains five excellent performances by the John Coltrane Quartet from two occasions when drummer Roy Haynes filled in for Elvin Jones. Although Haynes had a different approach on the drums than Jones, he fit in perfectly with the group, stimulating Coltrane to play brilliantly throughout these two sessions.

It's a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage exhibits loyalty to the hostage-taker, in spite of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed. Stockholm is also sometimes discussed in reference to other situations with similar tensions, such as battered person syndrome, rape cases, child abuse cases, and bride kidnapping.

I'm working on a west coast thing right now. But we have plans to go back into the studio in the summer. So, not sure when we'll be coming back to Philly, but we will. Can't skip my home town.

Here's the Scan.

I will be scanning and posting shortly, but we got a half page spread (with fine band photo) and the top slot on his top 10 list. He also left these words of praise: Reptet - Do This! (Monktail) This Seattle sextet does it all: it grooves, it rocks, it squawks - occasionally, it even talks. Mostly, it sounds like a New Orleans jazz band on crystal meth.

Yeah, you can bring in touring bands occasionally.

Tom, Sounds like a not-to-shabby maiden voyage. With better weather and the passage of time and word, you should be able to sustain it nicely. Good luck. -john

Furthermore, when i was a kid I used to walk ten miles to get to school, each way, in my bare feet, with snow drifts up to my waste...AND I LIKED IT! Go make your contacts, network and all that crap...speaking of which. Where's my Metamusel?

Johnny Griffin 1964...with a Han Bennink on drums.

Good luck with that Chuck.

Have a good one Alex!

Sad.

Have a fabulous Festivous to all.

Patrick, I'm so glad you are enjoying our music. The gig we did at Twins in October was a blast. Bertrand and Stefan were there representing the board (weizle was too scared to show his face around me ). It was the last show of the tour, the place was hot, we were sounding very tight and I sweat so much it looked like I pissed my pants when we were done. But don't despair. We plan on being around for a long time to come and will certainly play in DC and the surrounding area in the not so distant future. Right now were working on a west coast trip for spring.

Me too. BTW head man, Sabir Matten has gone on to have a very artistically successful career after Horace. He played with Sun Ra for a bit (being from Philly), then in the NY subways and beyond with TEST, sessions with Hamid Drake, Daniel Carter and others.

2006 Golden Ear Awards Party January 29, 2007; 7:30pm EMP Science Fiction Museum (325 Fifth Ave N, Seattle) Admission: $10 general; $5 EMP & Earshot members & working musicians This year, the Earshot Golden Ear Awards Party takes place in EMP’s Science Fiction Museum. Should be a warp of a time. Each year, the awards recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the previous year in Seattle jazz, and Seattle jazz fans and performers take stock of, and show gratitude for, the region’s rich, vibrant jazz ecology. The awards are determined by a combination of nominations and popular vote. Fans can vote for nominees identified by a committee of Seattle jazz players, audience members, journalists, and industry reps. Or, they may vote for their own, write-in selections. Awards are made in several categories (see below) and one or more inductions are made each year to the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame. This year’s gathering will be the eighteenth, and the music will be of a particularly high caliber. In the Marc Seales New Quintet, the pianist leader presents a sterling lineup of fine young turks: Thomas Marriott, trumpet; Evan Flory-Barnes, bass; D’Vonne Lewis, drums; and Larry Barilleau, percussion. The emcee for the event is the celebrated jazz radio programmer Jim Wilke, who assures a genial, informed, and well-paced evening. Please email (jazz@earshot.org) or mail (3429 Fremont Place #309, Seattle WA 98103) your selections to Earshot by January 20. (The goal is to get a sense of what fans actually like and support, not who can stuff the ballot box best.) The nominations for the awards this year are: 2006 NW Recording of the Year: � Big Neighborhood: 11:11 � Bill Anschell: More to the Ear than Meets the Eye � Valerie Joyce: New York Blue � Reptet: Do this! � Other:____________________________ 2006 NW Acoustic Jazz Ensemble: � Jim Knapp Orchestra � Reptet � Big Neighborhood � Bill Anschell Trio � Other:____________________________ 2006 NW “Outside” Jazz Group: � Frieze of Life � Amy Denio � Reptet � Gust Burns � Other:____________________________ 2006 NW Concert: � SRJO:The Endless Search: Music of Jimmy Heath � Pony Boy Picnic � Monktail Raymond Scott Project � Other:____________________________ 2006 NW Jazz Instrumentalist: � Mark Taylor � Doug Miller � Jay Thomas � Victor Noriega � Tom Varner � Other:____________________________ Emerging Artist of 2006: � D’Vonne Lewis � Evan Flory-Barnes � Tumbao � Valerie Joyce � Other:____________________________ NW Vocalist of 2006: � James Caddell � Gail Pettis � Rochelle House � Valerie Joyce � Other:____________________________ Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame: � Chuck Deardorf � Dean Hodges � Jim Knapp � Michael Brockman � KPLU � Other:____________________________
