Louis Armstrong tribute

On this day in 1928, Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five recorded the song West End Blues, a recording considered by many as a milestone in the history of the Jazz.  Armstrong's artistry has been an inspiration to so many great players throughout the years. His instrumental and vocal talents changed the way musicians think about Jazz in particular and popular musical performance in general. I'll be thinking of his West End Blues as I play tonight at the Portland City Grill.

Supermoon Tuesday, June 25th, at the Portland City Grill.  It seems only fair to give the moon its equal share of attention.  Piano starts at 5 p.m.

Stonehenge Solstice Hit Night

Celebrating the Summer Solstice this evening at the Portland City Grill grand piano.  I don't think I know any prehistoric Druid songs, but there are plenty of appropriate "sun" songs to please every Stonehenge enthusiast who happens to be downtown tonight.  It should be fun.
