Elmore Leonard, Ultra Lounge, Outre Galleries and all their lovely artists! Wynton Marsalis Septet, James Morrison, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Tito Puente, Vince Jones and all that 50's kitsch!
Sure, you could call it cerebral jazz - if you’re using the part of your brain reserved for paperback pulp fiction fantasy where Shirley Temple serves cocktails to Tito Puente in a maraschino-cherry poppin’ jazz joint by a hot lazy ocean.
And if you’re thinking a blindingly bright Miami Beach circa 1950’s, where swingin’ bikinis cha cha cha with swizzle stick-em up good time dance tunes, then you’re driving down the right highway. So much the better if you happen to pick up a kerbside kicking Elmore Leonard.
If you pull over your Tbird for a martini in an ultra outré lounge, where a four piece brass cartel backed up by a damn hot rhythm section are playing sparkling, sleazy dirty blue-light jazz to small tables of single strangers, well, you’re in our neighbourhood and we’d ask that you send us a picture postcard.
Sexier than gold lamé, hotter than LA in August, and almost as good as the second highball. It’s MIGUEL the fabulous nine-piece sensation!!! (Now with 20% more frontline)
Have a fabulous time with Vin! Please personally give him my love and let him know I have been busy writing heaps and I didn't realise till I had made my plans He'd be in Brisvegas with you.
Your music sounds very exciting! Love it!
You dig Vaughan too - I think He is nearly finished his first album! So much love & light in his music. I change the playlist all the time If you are @ face book or have a You Tube Channel let me know I will add you. www.myspace.com/inspiration4u may interest you too!
Thanks for adding me as one of your friends. The BullAnts backyard blitz was worth the pain! I noticed they settled down quite a bit once the music started - the music doth have charms....
:( so I planned to come and see you guys at Noosa jazz fest tonight. But my friend tries to get in and then we find out it's 18+. So we can't get in. So sad. I can just barely hear you guys from my house right this moment. :(
I just went to the Brisbane Festival website and saw that Vince Jones was on and I adore him, so I checked you out and I think you are fantastic so booked tickets straight away...now I can't wait!!!
Heyo Miguel, We're entering the AACA National band competition- should be a hoot. Come on down to the guild bar on the 27th at 7.30. Dunno if uni bars serve Serbian drinks...?.... Cya then!
Yes, the mystery of who the people in the front row have been solved.
But really, it was no trouble, all of my friends and I are musicians so we know the hard work (not that I would call it that) that is put in, so we can appreciate the music all that much more.
Of course, that's what heckling is for (haha), but for sure, we'll come and say howdy after the show.
Oh and speaking of gigs, see linkage of the horn/voice/woodwind section at the Jazz & Blues Festival, unfortunately, I couldn't get decent shots of your drummer, pianist and bassist, hopefully in September :)
No problem, I'm actually surprised that it took me as long as it did to get around to finding you on myspace and then, the painful process of adding you as a friend...
Myself and a bunch of friends saw you guys perform at the Jazz & Blues Festival in Darling Harbour in June, (you may or may not remember us, we were the ones who cheered and clapped for you after every piece)
Oh yes, I'll definately be there at the Basement, I was excited to see you guys where scheduled to perform there, it'll be fantastic, seeing Vince Jones and crew and you guys!
I was browsing through stuff on the basement and I discovered you guys are playing down there with Vince Jones! That is awesome! He really deserves more recognition - He's like Australia's chet baker.
cheers for letting me heckle you and shout obcenities at the stage for about the 8th time lol
anna is basically the chick version of me, if she were 18 she would probs be at all of your concerts. im sure you will see more of her next year haha see you on the 25th!
Hey guys, thanks for the friend add - had a totally awesome time at your Judith Wright Centre gig - you guys were SMOKIN' - ah, I hope you bring back the days when music was hot and men wore suits! LOL :) Lookin' forward to the next gig, and getting the dancing feet on!
Hey guys... I have to comment that your show at the Judith Wright center lat weekend was absolutely AMAZING! i've never seen you live before but you more than lived up to the rumors of 'there-are-no-words' from people i know who went to woodford... :)
Oooh, Myspace changed my location to ACT for some reason - I'm actually in Brisbane! I saw you guys at Judith Wright last weekend and you were AMAZING!! Looking forward to hearing you guys in action again soon. <3
