My busy music week here in Seattle so far. …

Monday night at Paratii Craft Bar  in Ballard with Jeff Busch and Eric Verlinde and that whole gang… this jam is fun and loud with great players and percussionists and singers.  Sitting in was… what it was……

Tuesday night at  the Queen Anne Summer sessions:   There was a benefit for the Sounders this past Tuesday and the place was packed.  I guess some of the Sounder players were guest bar tending. This is a singer songwriter jam that I’m trying to move towards the jazz singer type thing that we are all used to.   Singers  are greatly encouraged to sit in.  This Jam needs more talent  so bring a chart and sit in. There is no cover.  This coming week Steve Rice will be on keyboard.

Thursday night I paid a visit to the Sea Monster in Wallingford and caught  Martine Bron the Swiss Girl herself  and  her new  band, Ashley Webster (piano), Wolf Kienzle (guitar), Arturo Rodriguez (drums) Farko Dosumov (bass). Sassy sexy European  fun  funky stuff.  Martine is a pleasure  to hear and watch perform her tunes.

Friday night   jazz and sushi at  Hiroshi’s With Pony Boy recording artist Aria Prame.   Aria has an endlessly evocative vocal style.   Jennifer Keinzle  and Carolyn Graye  sat in as well.

Cleaning up for Saturday night  where to go ??????????
