Yogis shows this weekend (or Why I Won't be at Bumbershoot)

Hi Everyone,

I will be at the Ocean City Ballroom (corner of 6th Ave S and S Weller St in Chinatown) again this Friday with singer Yadong, guitarist Don Zuniga, and drummer Tom Lash. Bring your partner and/or some friends for an Asian twist on the ballroom dance styles cha-cha, swing, samba, waltz and more. Plus me, Don, and Tom usually break out for some rock and latin jazz during the night as well.

And I have two shows with singer Nelea Lloyd this weekend.
Nelea says:

I would like to invite you to please come on out and show your support at our debut performance at Laughing Ladies Cafe in Shoreline on Saturday, 9/5 from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Representing Jazz Montage will be a trio consisting of myself on vocals, Burt Boice on bass and Yogi McCaw on keys. There is no cover but we appreciate any contributions to the tip jar. Also, check out the cafe's extensive menu from food to beer and wine.

Also, please join us for our gig with jam session during the second set with the entire Jazz Montage group at Seattle Mobile Espresso Sunday, 9/6 from 5:30pm-7:30pm. This is our usual hang at SME which is on the 1st & 3rd Sundays. The next date will be 9/20. Vocalists, please bring charts and musicians your axes. This is also no cover, but tip jar donations appreciated. SME too has a fabulous menu of drinks and treats.

I am excited to direct you to our brand new website at: www.seattlejazzmontage.com. Here you will find maps to our event locations. The site will be updated with music, pictures, and events.


So that's why I won't be at Bumbershoot...;-)

Yoginis Friday Aug 28 at Third Place Books

Hi Y'all!

The Yoginis are very happy to be returning to Third Place Books where we have always had fun stretching out on our original music while the people dance, eat, shop or do whatever they do. Bring the youngsters they usually dance up by the stage too. All ages, plenty of refreshments in the food court.

Yogi and the Yoginis
Friday Aug 28th 7:30 - 10:00pm
Third Place Books Stage in Lake Forest Park Center
17171 Bothell Way NE (at Ballinger way)
Lake Forest Park, WA 98155
The Yoginis are: Yogi McCaw - keys, compositions; Burt Boice - Bass, compositions; Samia Panni - vocals and percussion; Bob Antolin - Flutes, Saxes, Guitars; JC Johnny Conga - Latin percussion; and Ed mays - Drumset

See you at the gig!

Also, I will have the new Yogi and the Yoginis CD - Terra Shivaiya - Six east, Six West, recorded half in India and half in the USA. The CD garnered rave reviews as the featured CD on the Jazz Network Worldwide, including an outstanding review by jazz writer Steve Getz, who is Stan Getz's son. Everyone that has one is very happy with it (as far as I know so), and a number of people have bought several at once.

The CD features our unique approach to east/west jazz fusion, plus a number of great sambas and Samia singing the gorgeous Songbird bossa nova that many people say the love when they hear us perform it. It also garnered rave reviews by DJs Sharon Stevens and former music programming director Barbie-Danielle DeCarlo of KBCS 91.3FM Bellevue Community radio.

So get one of those while you're there with us!

Plus - if you're still reading - here's a bonus for you: an older Yoginis You Tube with the late great Mike Deasy, Jr on Sax, recorded at the 2007 Hempfest!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Yogi

This week we are happy to have Eric Hullander covering the bass chair. Eric is very good and has played jazz and Brazilian music all over Seattle. In fact, he will be on the gig with Sambatuque later Sunday evening (meet me at that gig too).

So y'all come now, hear?
