JULY'S SOMETHING SPECIAL...

Just added: Living Room Theatre on July 5, SW 10th and Stark, with Bobby Torres Trio (Bobby on percussion and Brian Ward on keyboard). The fusion of independent films in intimate theatres, casual cuisine and a full bar/lounge with live jazz. Great downtown spot! www.livingroomtheaters.com

Am so looking forward to performing at the 28th annual Cathedral Park Jazz Festival in Portland July 20, 2-4 p.m., and sharing the stage with my Twice As Nice recording partner Tom Kennedy, an extraordinary bassist Downbeat Magazine calls "a true virtuoso" (tomkennedymusic.com). Tom's taking a break from New York to travel west, where we'll be making music from the Twice As Nice CD and much more, joined by Tom's friend, the great drummer Todd Strait (toddstraitdrums.com) and super pianist Randy Porter (randyporter.com). Free event. Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the music! www.cpjazz.com

Tom and I will also be at east Portland's coolest little jazz spot, Arrivederci Wine Bar, Saturday, July 19 with ace accompanist Mark Simon at the baby grand piano. Perfect spot for a night out. www.arrivederciwine.com

For something completely different, how about Tony Starlight's 2nd Annual James Bond show July 10, complete with costumes, contests and Karla singing those famous (or infamous) James Bond movie themes ... It'll be a fun party! www.tonystarlight.com

Come out and enjoy. It's always great to see you!
