A perfect night for a chi-chi dinner and some cool sounds ..... Chef Scott has created some new menu items that succulent doesn't even begin to describe!
The weather is rocking this weekend so don't miss the waterfront patio voted one of Vancouver's Top Ten!
The music is jazzy and soulful (that's my dept) and we have special guests Mimi Snider, Gunther Klaus, and Steven Ley joining me. I'll also be doing a mini tribute to Miles Davis's Kind Of Blue album in the early set, so come hear some classics.....
Chef Scott has prepared a special menu, and that alone is reason to come- check out his Saturday Specials:
Tomato Basil Soup with Garlic Croutons Tuna Sashimi with Ponzu, Cilantro Sauce Grain Fed Veal Chop with Rosemary Sauce & Seasonal Vegetables Orange Crème Brulee
The last Bentall Summer Concert Series Show on Aug 28 was a rainout, so the BLUES BUSTERS are taking over and rockin' the plaza one more time for the shank of summer! Many thanks to Ivanhoe-Cambridge, Bentall Towers, Lynn and Jenna for the magnanamous funding and opportunity!
Come on by to 1055 Dunsmuir, Vancouver, on the lower plaza from noon - 1:30 and have a great end of season wind-up show, with Cecile LaRochelle, Billy Mendoza, Lindsay Mitchell, Loren Etkin, Dave Webb, Keith Bennett, and myself... an all-star lineup!
AND.... Don't forget I will be at Ten Ten Tapas Saturday night at 7-ish, and we have Steven Ley and Mimi Snider joing me on stage as special guests!
It is rare for me to post political commentary on my music based outlets, but there is too much juicy observational content in these links below to not share...
Here is a good highlights reel of the exciting cd release show at Blue Frog Studios Concert Stage for Open Invitation!
"Gabriel Mark Hasselbach's new CD Open Invitation, on which he wrote all the tunes and plays trumpet, flugel, alto and C flutes, valve bone, and EVI, is a tour de force of arranging and production..... Gabriel sounds great on everything.... no easy task, and should be really proud of this one! You'll find yourself humming these tunes when you least expect it!" ~ Randy Brecker -multiple Grammy winning trumpeter (Brecker Bros, etc)
