Testimonials:
"So I ran into Grant Johnson's brother in law, and he said the family agrees that this was the BEST Concert they have had in all 41 years! People were raving about the music selection and of course, your clarinet skills. I was so excited how it all turned out...especially "Memories of You". WOW." -Danielle Miller, Director of Bands, Lebanon High School (6/5/08)
"Club 7 has been a regular at the Medford Jazz Jubilee since 2004 and will appear again in October of 2008. They get a great sound out of a small group and are a versatile crowd pleaser. Michael and the group’s repertoire may include more, but I can personally vouch for their excellence with hot jazz and inspirational standards as well as the more modern cool jazz reminiscent of Brubeck and others. Club 7 would be a credit to any festival, party or event." - Jim DeMont, Vice President, Medford Jazz Jubilee (12/3/07)
"The musicians are from Eugene, OR and Portland, OR. I just danced to them LIVE last Wednesday in Eugene for the 5th Anniversary of http://www.EugeneLindy.com. The clarinet player is tremendous. I hope to book them at my ballroom in Portland soon."
- Larry Peacock (4/12/08)
"This group is composed of college-age young men (details, bios, etc., on
website) whose style and professionalism are far beyond their years.
Clarinetist and leader Michael Almich is not only technically proficient AND
sensitive AND swinging but was attuned to every nuance of the band members.
And they to him. He is a protegee of Bob Draga, and it shows."
- Jane Lynch (08/13/08)
"Wow, here's another band of musicians in their 20s that are tearing up
the pea patch. They swing their asses off and speak with their own
voice, bringing something new to the party. Glad to see that Ocean Shores, Medford and Orange County OKOM Jazz Festivals have booked them."
- Steve Barbone (4/12/08)
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Hello boys love your music and the style, pop over here and make lots of jazz fans happy at the Bude Jazz Festival on the 29th Aug - 5th Sept.Cheers Jim & Jean
Dearest, We hope you had a beautiful holiday. And we wish you an AMAZING New Year!!!! We are excited to share our new EP "Hungry Ghost" with you! The title song is a mini rock opera that builds to a full theatrical exorcism for America. Come over to our page for a listen. LOVE & Blessings, The Sophe Lux Family
You guys were great!!! We heard a fair amount on friday and you guys were by far the best!! It was sooo great to see you and the family!! We definitely didn't get to talk much, but just listening to you guys play....it was amazing!! I would love it if I could buy 3 of your cd's!! It was great to see you and your family and to know that you are doing sooo well for yourself!!
I'm actually writing some jazz/poetry stuff that eventually I'm going to make into some pretty sweet tunes. And I'm doing Marching Band at East Carolina University...which is always fun on the side!
Everytime I'm on your profile, theres always something new. Avalon sounds GREAT! My jazz band performed it and...uhm...yours sounds a lot better. haha Love it! Keep up the good work!
I'm happy and honored to inform you that our new album "MASISAMBA" is almost ready to be released via internet! (there is some artwork left to do). Thank you very much for your interest in what we do. Our MySpace player plays more than 150 times over night ! ! ! ! ! ! It inspires my colleagues ! ! ! ! ! There is not much real Big Band music in today's world. To be frank, it takes a lot of effort to keep musicians together. So your interest helps me to cope with this!
cordially, Armen Martirosian, artistic director, Armenian Jazz Band
P.S.I created a new group JAZZ ORCHESTRAS !!!!!!!!!
I found you through a mutual friend... I look forward to hearing you live when you come back to Cali! (when will that be?!) All the best to you and thanks for making music happy :)
