Lot's of other great stuff to tell you about...read on!
"The Shapeshifter" has been nominated for a WYCE Jammie award! This means we'll be appearing at the Jammies
Awards Concert February 14 at the Intersection. Our time slot is 7:20 on the main stage. Thanks to all of you
who nominated us!
This means, of course, that "The Shapeshifter" has finally arrived!
You know the lineup: Tom Lockwood, Rob Smith, Paul Keller, Pete Siers, and yours truly. I'll
tell you what...it was amazing to sit and listen to these guys tear it up in the studio, and now you can hear it,
too! Click the link above to check it out. We did a marathon session in June at John Stites' Arcadia Recording
in Kalamazoo (so you know it sounds great!). Eight tunes in eight hours...whew! My deepest thanks to all involved.
Right now, I'm working on a CD release gig or two. I'll let you know when we get something on the calendar.
Jazz comes to "Ottawa Tavern!" Come down and check out the newest jazz hang! "Ottawa Tavern," at the corner
of Ottawa and Pearl in GR, has jazz on Friday and Saturday 1/6 and 1/7 from 8pm until midnight.
And, dont' forget about the Grand Rapids Jazz Orchestra's regular gig: Founders Brewery in Grand Rapids the
first and third Sundays of every month, 5:30pm - 7:30pm. For Other gigs, please click the "gigs" link on at
the top left of this page. Look for the new GRJO CD, "Swingin' with Edye Evans-Hyde."
Also, the new Steve Hilger Band CD, "The River," is on the shelves. The disc sounds fantastic!
Listen for it on WLAV and WYCE.
