Danny Hull - Musically This Week Vol XII, No 17

Greetings friends. The time for new beginnings is upon us. However you embrace 2010, may you do so with the conviction that this will be a year of growth and discovery.

Tuesday, 1/5/2010 at Bobby McGee's 7:00 - 10:00 p.m.

John Troy, saxophone & EWI Michael McNeill, piano Danny Ziemann, bass your host, drum set

Among our missions in our continuing jazz experiment is to introduce emerging talent to our Savvy & Informed Audience. John Troy impressed everyone both on the stand and in the audience when he sat in one night back at our former and curiously lit location. Bruce Johnstone was on the gig, and he introduced me to his student, then studying at Fredonia. Imagine the confidence, to not only sit in with an aggravation of salty veterans, but to do so within ear shot of your college professor! After some assurances from Bruce, I told John I'd throw him an upcoming feature slot when he was home on his break from school. This Tuesday, we keep our word. Please join us to encourage John, and hear not only his saxophone prowess, but his EWI chops as well. EWI means Electronic Wind Instrument, and it affords the saxophonist the same synthesized sound palette that a keyboard player has. We've had some world-class saxophonists play our gig these last 11 years, but John's EWI playing will be a first . Another first is the addition of pianist Michael McNeill to our roster of rhythm section guests. Michael has sat in on various occasions, but this will be his debut as a featured sideman. So the tradition continues - at The New Bobby McGee's, located in the Maple Ridge Plaza, Sweet Home & Maple Roads. Tina, Jyl, Magan, steady Billy & quiet Mike - good music, good food, good people, chilled spirits, and a great hang.

Friday, 1/9/2010 at Bobby McGee's 8:00 - 11:00 p.m.

Cindy Miller, vocals Lisa Hasselback, piano Wayne Moose, bass yours truly, drum set

Jazz vocal royalty joins us this weekend, and it will be our fist feature with Cindy and our generously loaned grand piano. Please join us as we present the versatile and well traveled Ms Miller, in the company of her chosen accompanist for the evening - the equally versatile (and well traveled) Lisa Hasselback. Dancing and the Great American Songbook are the intended themes for the Cindy's appearance, but you're just as welcome to have dinner and simply enjoy the show from the comfort of your chair - dancing optional. But do join us, and hear one of the most remarkable singers performing anywhere.
