Vreeland Jazz

Wow, did we hit the jackpot!

Pete Fields added a bunch of new gig postings to the Local Event Calendar on River Voices   over the weekend. To make the weekend haul even better, Brady Earnhart, checked in with three new events of his. If you want more than a couple of days notice to build outings into your calendar this is becoming the place to look for them. The paper does a good job but things often don't show up until the week they happen and for someof us that's less planning time than we would like to have.

By the way Brady is new "to the fold" so make an effort if you can to see him at Bistro Bethem and Griffin on the dates shown on the calendar. Bistro and Griffin have become two more hot spots for showcasing local talent.  My personal favorites at these two spots are the crisp tasting briny oysters on the half shell at Bistro and the chocolate cheese cake at Griffin.

The John Vreeland Jazz Quartet

    Sep. 27, 2006 9:53 am    

 

If I had a buck for every time I’ve heard people talk about how much they would appreciate a nice piano bar around here I would… well, I would have a pocket full of dollars. Last night I went to Bistro Bethem to hear The John Vreeland Jazz Quartet and folks, it was happening there. I’m here to tell you that this group is the group to follow if you want great jazz in a dinner atmosphere and in the bargain, you could have even heard what your dinner partner was saying.

The volume, the quality of the music, the sequencing of the numbers from a light jazzy dining-friendly feel at the beginning to the upbeat energy of the first song after the break and the whole second set , it was all just as I felt it should be. There was even some musical humor thrown in such as when John sneaked a little “Chopsticks” into their rendition of “Up The Lazy River”.

I mentioned this event briefly yesterday on The Fredericksblog and had I known what an outstanding experience it was going to be I would have flogged it a lot harder. And to all those people who I told face to face and who still didn’t make it, shame on you, you missed a lot. If you allow this to happen again an entry will be made in your permanent record.

Next up for the Jon Vreeland Jazz Quartet is at Chord’s, 8:00 PM on October 6^th (First Friday) and they’ll be at Chord’s on First Friday in November and December as well. Unfortunately they don’t have a website so I’ll be at John’s mercy on keeping you informed of their scheduled appearances but I’ll keep digging for the info. You need to see and hear this group.
