relyles Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I am familiar with everyone in the Green group except the bassist. All worth hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah, don't miss the Rodney Green group. Thats a fine band.

fasstrack Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 You'll probably see me there. I came with the furniture . My group will be there early show May 29th FWIW-----not much, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Cool! Thanks for the heads up on 5/29, Joel. I'll try to make it, although I don't usually get up to New York (from Philly) until 8:30 or so. Maybe I'll leave early that day. You'll probably see me there. I came with the furniture . My group will be there early show May 29th FWIW-----not much, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My group will be there early show May 29th FWIW-----not much, I'm sure. Thanks. Hope to see you. I'm trying to get a group off the ground with two superb musicians: Tim Givens on bass and cello, and Vanderlai Perriera on drums. We worked twice in January and rehearsed once last month. We think we have something nice and need some work. I have a lot of nice material and we at least hit the tip of the iceberg that rehearsal. People will sit in a bit last set, not too much. I want to feature the guys (and my own playing, too, I guess). But I always make the tunes and presentation the main attraction. I want to write some things to feature Tim on cello, he is superb----one of the best I've heard. Plus he knows every tune I call. Vanderlai is a tremendous talent with great ears, Brazilian, with his own take on jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
