FEATURED EVENTS

Dave Mason "Feelin' Alright" 3-11-10 ON SALE NOW, FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Dave Mason's career spans over 30 years and has encompassed producing, performing and song writing. At 18, the Worcester, England native was one of the founding members of the group Traffic when he penned the song "Feelin' Alright". This song has since become a rock and roll anthem having been recorded by well over 300 artists. The group's profound influence over rock music remains unquestioned even today. In 1969 he moved to the USA to persue a solo career and put out four gold Albums; "Alone Together", "Dave Mason", "Let It Flow" and "Mariposa De Oro". He has also performed of many classic rock albums such as The Rolling Stones' "Beggars Banquet", George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass", Paul McCartney's "Listen To What the Man Said" and Jimi Hendrix's "Electric Ladyland", which features Dave playing guitar alongside Jimi on the Bob Dylan hit "All Along the Watchtower". In 1993, Dave formally joined the legendary group Fleetwood Mac and spent two years touring the world with them. In '96 he returned to touring with his own band which has included Three Dog Night bassist Rich Campbell and ex-Traffic band-mate Jim Capaldi. On March 15, 2004 he was officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
The Occidental Gypsy Jazz Quartet 03-13-2010 OCCIDENTAL GYPSY JAZZ QUARTET are a refreshing extension of European cafe music, better known as Jazz Manouche, or gypsy swing. Their well rehearsed and lightning fast swing make Occidental Gypsy Jazz Quartet “ the Archetype of authenticity” and “ the Best Acoustic Gypsy Jazz Band in New England” (Emmanuel Vincent). This Paris-based style of music had it's heyday in the '20s & 30s but has never gone away. The OGJQ are carrying the torch with a vengeance. "An awesome authentic Gypsy Quartet who floored the audience this year at the annual Rhode Island Rhythm & Roots Festival" - Laura Travis, MVY Radio For more info, go to: www.occidentalgypsy.com/
MICK TAYLOR 5-1-2010 When the Rolling Stones needed to replace Brian Jones in 1969, Mick Jagger asked John Mayhall of the Bluesbreakers for advice. Mayhall immediately recommended Mick Taylor. He was then hired to play on the half-finished “Let it Bleed”, putting his unmistakeable guitar stamp on “Honky-Tonk Woman”, “Live With Me” and “Country Honk”. His first full studio album with the Stones was 1971’s “Sticky Fingers”, although he did appear on 1970’s live “Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out”. He played on 1972’s “Exile on Main St.”, and is credited with co-authoring “Ventilator Blues” with Jagger and Richards on that album. He was with the band through “Goat’s Head Soup” and “It’s Only Rock and Roll” where he claims to have co-written "Till the Next Goodbye" and "Time Waits for No One" with Jagger and Richards, although no credit was given on the album sleeve. Before leaving the band, he recorded "Waiting on a Friend" which was never released until 1981's "Tattoo You". The success of the single helped propel that album to 9 weeks at number one. Taylor's encore track was the Stones' last major hit. Throughout those years he had been doing side work with Herbie Mann and Jack Bruce separately. And finally he left the Stones in ’74 to form a group with Jack Bruce. His reasons for leaving the Stones were unclear then and now. But his future looked bright. He was considered one of the best guitarists in the world. Mick Jagger, in a 1995 interview with Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone magazine, said "I think he had a big contribution. He made it very musical. He was a very fluent, melodic player... It was very good for me working with him ... Mick Taylor would play very fluid lines against my vocals. He was exciting, and he was very pretty, and it gave me something to follow, to bang off. Some people think that's the best version of the band that existed". In 1989 he was inducted, along with the rest of the Stones, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Watch a video of Mick Taylor HERE
JOHN PIZZARELLI Quartet NEW 6-18-2010 JOHN PIZZARELLI has had a multi-faceted career as a jazz guitarist, vocalist and bandleader. Internationally known for classic standards, late-night ballads, and the cool jazz flavor he brings to his performances and recordings, he has recently established himself as the consummate entertainer and radio program host with the launch of “Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli” a nationally syndicated radio program co-hosted with his wife, Broadway star Jessica Molaskey. Pizzarelli has been playing guitar since age six, following after his father guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli. Bucky exposed John to all the great jazz music of the era, from Count Basie and Les Paul to Django Reinhardt and, of course, Nat “King” Cole. “I’ve always said in my concerts that Nat “King” Cole is why I do what I do.” Using greats like Ellington, Cole and Sinatra and the songs of writers such as Rodgers, Gershwin and Jobim as touchstones, Pizzarelli is among the prime contemporary interpreters of the great American songbook, bringing to the work his signature style and brilliant guitar playing. John's latest CD "Rockin' in Rhythm; A Tribute to Duke Ellington" was just released in Feb. '10. “Mr. Pizzarelli is innately cool, sly and playful in the mode of his biggest influence, Nat “King” Cole - a great comic storyteller and mimic whose verbal precision matches his dexterity as a high-speed finger-picker who scats in unison with his guitar solos.” - THE NEW YORK TIMES “Madly creative, Pizzarelli’s extraordinary musical talents are matched by a wry humor, a quick wit and easygoing manner.” - LOS ANGELES TIMES “Hip with a wink. Dressed snazzily, he barnstorms through international concert and club dates, records critically acclaimed CD’s and delivers wisecracks, anecdotes and nuanced, highly skillful renditions of jazz and American Songbook standards.” - TOWN & COUNTRY More info: www.johnpizzarelli.com/
