The New Flamingo Swing Orchestra played a gig at Kuumbwa Jazz Center and thoroughly blew the roof off the place.
We've been working a saxophone quartet at Hoffman's every other Monday. with Jason Tellez on alto, Brad Hecht on tenor, and Tennessee O'Hanlon on baritone.
I just posted on Facebook:
I used to think that the way to bring the music business to its knees would be to have a band called Various Artists come out with an album called Self Titled. Come hear the latest variation on that theme, as Tennessee O'Hanlonon baritone, Bradley Hecht on tenor, Jason Tellez on alto, and yours truly on soprano/alto perform as the Bootleg Saxophone Quartet. Hoffman's on Pacific Avenue, 6:30, to be joined at 7:30 by bassist Isaiah Roberts and drummer Olaf Schiappacasse for music of the Hollywood Saxophone Quartet and others. No cover, dinner specials, full bar.
Will video tonight's gig.
More later . . .
