Wayne Moose & Friends
Cindy Miller, vocals Lisa Hasselback, piano Wayne Moose, bass your correspondent, drum set
Wayne’s gig’s got legs. Great location, amazing food, a good vibe, and a rich talent pool of guest artists… And this week, the hardest swinging, most diminutive singer on the scene… In fact, Cindy’s heart, range, energy, and relentless sense of swing are all in direct opposition to her dress size. Maybe that’s how it works. Little girl - big talent… And if you get there early enough, maybe you can grab one of those comfy chairs on either side of the band. You’ll find parking on the street, in a small lot across the street, or in another lot just a door down. Mezza is at 929 Elmwood, between Bidwell Parkway & West Delevan.
Friday, 5/15 at The Roycroft
7:30 - 10:30
Three Brothers & a Distant Cousin
Phil Sims - trombone & arrangements Andy Weinzler, Russ D’Alba, Kelly Bucheger - tenor saxes Michael T. Jones - piano Paul Zapalowski - bass DH - drum set
A bit of a departure for the Roycroft - no chamber group is this! More hard swinging, take-no-prisoners solos, and tight ensemble playing from a thoroughly unique horn section. Remember Van Miller? “Fasten your seat belts!”
Saturday, 5/16 at Club 31
Wendell Rivera & the Latin Jazz Ensemble 10:00 - 1:00
Wendell Rivera, latin percussion Calvin, trumpet Randy Stirtzinger, piano Mark Harris, bass yours truly, drum set
And you may as well keep that seat belt fastened. Once Wendell pours on the groove and the energy, no one sits still.
