Variety IS the spice!

Thanks to everyone who appeared last week - what a treat to see familiar faces!

There is more fun afoot... starting tonight! Michael Stanwood is an amazing individual, and long time friend. (See www.michaelstanwood.com) Tonight in a rare appearance of Yeahbut Shoehead we will play one of the songs that introduced Michael to me in the recording studio of Charles Sautel a few years back. This quartet, which also includes Tom Blomster (Mercury Ensemble and much more) and Ron Bland (consumate bassist and educator) does not play near enough, but tonight we will be having a blast in Estes Park!

On Thursday at the St Julien Hotel the Dexter Payne Quartet continues its series of Brazilian explorations. Bill Kopper, Francisco Marques and Raoul Rossiter join me in this immersion in the lovely sounds of Brasil.

Sunday another rare treat: George Inai plays a set at So Broadway Christian Church as part of the Denver Underground Showcase, 4 days of dozens of bands in venues all over town. George repeatedly amazes me with the depth and breadth of his writing, and he assembles a great crew, including Eric Moon, Mike Fitzmaurice, Derek Bannach, Terry Dane.

Remember: music makes the world go round!
Ill look for your friendly face at every opportunity...
