Another great configuration of musicians playing with me at Tula’s. Bill Anschell is my right hand pianist and supplier of great tunes. (He uses his left hand a lot too.) Paul, John and I moved to Seattle around the same time so it’s old home night for me. Come on down to Tula's!

Last year this group celebrated the musical legacy of the great tenor saxophonist, Michael Brecker. This year we will draw on that material while adding some of our own compositions. This is one of my favorite groups to play with and, dang, the bar is high! Don't miss this one!

Rich Cole - tenor & soprano sax, bass clarinet
Pete Gallio - tenor & soprano sax
Marc Seales - piano & keyboards
Chuck Deardorf - basses
Gary Hobbs - drums & percussion

Featuring brothers Richard Cole (sax) and Dr. Ronald Cole (trumpet), with Bill Anschell - piano; Paul Gabreilson - bass & John Bishop - drums.

A little over ten years ago the great jazz saxophone virtuoso and composer Michael Brecker passed at the age of 57.  He had been fighting myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) for a couple years and though he seemed to be improving he succumbed on January 13th, 2007. Tula's Jazz Club has given me the honor of paying tribute to this giant. Please keep checking back for more details.

Personnel include:
Rich Cole - saxes
Marc Seales - piano, keyboards
Chuck Deardorf - basses
Gary Hobbs - drums and percussion

I'll be joining the SRJO in a tribute to the great Count Basie and his orchestra.

From the SRJO's website:

It’s 1937. Famous jazz impresario John Hammond has signed on as the Count Basie Orchestra’s promoter, and brings the band to New York for a pivotal engagement at the Roseland Ballroom. The Basie band soon rises to national attention during the heyday of swing dancing, and began making its first recordings for Decca records in the same year, including the instant hit, “One O’Clock Jump.” The band included such heralded stars as tenor saxophonists Lester Young and Herschel Evans, trumpeters Buck Clayton and Harry “Sweets” Edison, and vocalists Jimmy (Mr. Five-by-Five) Rushing and Joe Williams, plus the unparalleled rhythm section of guitarist Freddie Green, drummer Jo Jones, bassist Walter Page, and of course, Basie on piano.

The SRJO will feature great hits from the early New York era of the Count Basie Orchestra, including “Oh Lady Be Good,” “Jumpin’ at the Woodside,” and "Roseland Shuffle."
