Saturday Night Party Animal!

There is a new addition to this jazzy household and BeBop is all ears!


This Saturday brings yet another unscripted, delicious, jazz-erific, patio-tastic event at Ten Ten Tapas (1010 Beach Ave, Vancouver, on the seawall). I'll be there underscoring it all with my superlative, sonorous sounds starting at 7pm- make a rezzie at 604-689-7800.

Also JUST ANNOUNCED! 
Make an Indian Summer Getaway in wine country Sept 13, where I will be performing a spectacular outdoor concert 'Jazz Under The Stars' in West Kelowna at the Cove Lakeside Resort. Room packages and tickets available at the Cove.... Toll Free: 877-762-2683




Whoa! I forgot about today's daytime concert!!

Today from noon to 1:30 I have a skookum outdoor show at Bentall Plaza (1055 Dunsmuir, Vancouver). 

I'll have my regular full band with Tilden Webb - keys, Adam Rohrlick - guitar (who is featured on my current single Count Me In), Laurence Mollerup - bass, and Joel Fountain - drums.

There is a plethora of lunch options there, so have a nosh and a summer concert all in one! See the full lineup at http://tinyurl.com/q75dtsl

Then tomorrow I am back at www.TenTenTapas.com at 7:30 for perfect summer jazz on a waterfront patio. Rezzies recommended 604-689-7800.

Cool stuff for a hot weekend....

Hi Everyone,

Having fun? Stop complaining about the heat, it will fade soon enough! 

We are the New California! Movies, Music, and Mountains of fun.....

Tonight (Friday) I am playing my jazz on a Sunset Dinner Cruise, it is not too late to book. Glorious day for that!

Tomorrow (Saturday) I am at my regular Saturday jazz roost Ten Ten Tapas, at 7 pm, where we have excellent jazz (with guest star Linda Szentes) and awesome food from our new Chef Scott. At 9:45 we slip out the door and 50 paces away is a perfectly framed closeup view of the Fireworks, launch barge and all...... an excellent place to eat and then have a superb light show for dessert. Make a rezzie at 604-689-7800! Did you know the Patio there was voted one of the BEST in Vancouver?

Sunday I am at Hastings Park Racetrack, where I will be performing for a giant BBQ. I am not sure what it takes to partake, but if you are out there for the BC Cup prelims, come say hello.

The next two days are just private events, but Fun Will Be Had By all!



Can't miss music shows starting Thursday (that's tomorrow, folks!)

Vancouverites will be treated to some great music this weekend, starting tomorrow, Thursday July 23!

First out of the chute is a show that is part of the Jazz Waves Series at the Silk Purse in West Vancouver. I am honored to be performing with the ubiquitous Amanda Wood, who recently put on a knock-em-dead show at the Cultch! There are only a few tickets left, so if you missed Amanda's last show, or haven't experience the Silk Purse, now is your chance... click here.

Friday, the Bentall Summer Concert series continues with yet another fabulous noon show downtown. I thought it would be great fun in the summertime to mount a Brasil 66 type show, so I conscripted the brightest and best for this event, including Armi Grano, L J Mounteney, Amanda Wood, Tom Arntzen, Daryl Jahnke, Phil Belanger, and Jen Hodge. I will play on a few tunes, but this is all about the singers! Check out the full roster!

Saturday will be the first night of the 2015 Celebration of Light fireworks display at English Bay, Vancouver. I am performing at Ten Ten Tapas (my usual Saturday haunt), and what a great place to view the fireworks, right from the seawall! A special buffet is planned, and the place will be jumpin' so if you are coming, make a rezzie well in advance at 604-689-7800.


Good weekend for music

The weather is staying brilliant and by the weekend you deserve to treat yourself to some fun. The patio at Ten Ten Tapas is a good place to start, and I will be performing there Saturday at 7:30. I've added some cool new tunes and besides classic jazz I will be playing tunes off my new album Open Invitation. (See link below). Anyway, come enjoy the great food and my music vibe.... Rezzies!!! 604-689-7800 www.tententapas.com

Then on Sunday, there's a unique daytime gig I am part of at Fortune Sound Club (see flyer). The DLights be gettin' funky! 2-5pm. Acid jazz, funk, etc....

Following that I am at Federico's with my good friend Pat Milino, who has been touring the world nonstop the last few years. This will be a great little band with seasoned pros, and the food there is pretty tasty!

The following Thursday July 23 I will join Amanda Wood at the Silk Purse for the West Van Arts Council in a well rounded jazzy show. Google it for  more info.

Come on down!

Tonight's music

Had a great show yesterday at Rocky Point with the indefatigable Billy Dixon! Man that guy has vim and vigor!

Tonight, come on down to Ten Ten Tapas at 1010 Beach Ave on the seawall in Vancouver. The weather is cooler, and the patio will be even sweeter. Mimi Snider is guest star tonight with some classic songs, and she really has a style all her own! Leonard Rivero will drop in with his axe, too....
Although I thought the food couldn't get any better, there is a new chef on board with a distinct style all his own as well. He has created a new menu, so check out his artistry, especially if the last menu wasn't to your taste.... 
I start at 7:30... Rezzies please, it gets busy! 604-689-7800

BTW, my recent album Open Invitation was submitted this week by a Grammy member for Contemporary Instrumental album and for two jazz solos... Cross your fingers!
