In the midst of all this Michael Mull Octet madness, I'm pleased to take a quick detour this Sunday 2/16 to play a Trio set Upstairs at Vitello's in Studio City at 8pm. This is a really nice venue overall; great sound, warm-vibey room, and tasty Italian food (I recommend especially the flat, crispy pizzas or desserts).
I had played at Vitello's a few times with the Trio and other groups around 2009, and more recently with Connor McElwain, and I'm excited bring in a new configuration of the Trio, specifically for this show. As usual, I'll be playing alto saxophone and bass clarinet, and will be joined by Cameron Hicks on drums. On Sunday we will be joined by tuba player Stefan Kac, covering the bass chair for Ben Shepherd. Stefan is an amazing player that will get you re-thinking the tuba.

Michael,
ReplyDeleteSLO Jazz Fest is calling. This was sent to me. "You're getting an advanced opportunity to sponsor a "Locals in Jazz" artist on the side stage, sponsor "Jazz in Film" night, and help us launch the first ever SLO Jazz Crawl, right here in San Luis Obispo!" It's May 17th www.slojazzfest.org
Very cool! I'll look into it, and although this year might be a squeeze, maybe I can be a part of next year. I remember talking to the organizer a couple of years ago when this was just a brand new idea...glad to see it is happening.
