Yogis Music World gig listings for this weekend and a few of the NYE parties too! I'll probably get more updates on NYE parties as they come in. Too many great gigs to mention them all here (this is getting to be how it is every week!), so read the blog and find the ones you want to be at! Thanks to all the great musicians and club owners who have invited me to their events so they could be listed. We're growing every week! Here's to a prosperous 2013!

Yogi's gigs this weekend

Hi everyone,

I'm on the bill for two shows of two different types of music this weekend.

On Saturday night at 9pm I'll be appearing with the R&B/hiphop band of Stacey Israel at LUCID on University Ave in Seattle. Stacey is an accomplished and beautiful singer that I have had the pleasure of doing numerous Jazz and R&B shows with for the past 2-3 years. We'll be doing a mix of her originals and some classic R&B from back in the the day (think Chaka Khan, Taste of Honey, etc).
Listen to some of Stacey's originals at her Reverbnation site.

Stacey Israel and Yogisoundz

LUCID on the Ave

CANCELLED - SORRY THIS GIG CANCELLED DUE TO BANDMEMBER ILLNESS-----
AND, I will be with Bob Antolin and Randy Clere's Comfort Food Band at Waid's Haitian Cafe Sunday night. Billed as "Bitches Brew meets Fela Kuti", this band plays a unique and eclectic mix of jazz fusion originals, covers, and sometimes we just make it up on the spot! It's an interesting and highly danceable blend of progressive jazz driven by African rhythms. This band is proving to be a pleasant and exciting surprise to everyone who hears it. They love us at Waid's, and it's one of our most regular gigs.

Monday night jams tonight Oct 8 2012

Hi Everyone,

I will get the full blog post up for this week tomorrow. However, there have been a couple of nice Monday night jams springing up in town so I didn't want to miss listing them. Turning the idea of Monday being a "slow night" on it's head, these places have created happening jazz jam scenes on the so called "off night." Definitely worth checking out:

Mon nights jazz Jam

Jazz/World Music gigs this week Oct 2 - 8, 2012

Hey Everyone! LOTS of good stuff on the menu for this week's listing - Larry Barilleau's Latin Jazz Collective, the Brazilian Wed night jam session, the hot young teenage jazz band Fusion, and much more! A big THANK YOU to all the jazz/world musicans who invited me to their gigs on Facebook, via email (yogismusic@gmail.com), or the Seattle Jazz Scene meetup! It's growing all the time!
This week's featured group is Larry Barilleau's Latin Jazz Collective. Check their hot latin jazz out over to the right at the featured band link.
PLEASE - support local, indie jazz/world music. The scene only survives if people go to shows, donate to the musicans or pay the cover/ticket charge and buy food and drinks from the venues. YOUR PARTICIPATION MAKES IT HAPPEN. Thanks, everyone!

This Weekend's Jazz/World Music Shows

Hey Everyone,

It occurs to me belatedly that the best days to publish my weekly blog post is actually Monday or Tuesday. Kind of missed it this week! As always, to get your show posted, invite me with an FB event. (If you are an artist, and you don't make FB events for your stuff...well......)

So, to catchup, I'm posting this weekend's gigs today, and then I'll get back on posting schedule next week. These are shows I have been invited to via FB events, that have a Jazz/World Music focus. Any of these should be a blast to go to. I actually know most of the musicians and can personally recommend all these shows.

My Gig with Stacey Israel @ Studio Seven

Hey Everyone, I'm happy to be performing with the group of singer Stacey Israel tomorrow night at Seattle's Studio Seven. Stacey and I have been working together over two years now. After a string of jazz shows, she approached me to do something with her original R&B material. Her songs are grooving, soulful, and tinged with a touch of hip-hop, as you will hear on her Reverbnation site . She also has a fantastic new video "I Don't Know What 2 Say". Showtime is 7:30pm at Studio Seven 110 South Horton Street , Seattle, All ages (kids downstairs, adults have a bar in the loft area with full view of the stage) Hope to see you there!

We're back! This week's gigs on Yogis Music World

All you Zombie dudes and Vampirellas have nothing on us! Yogis Music World is BACK! BWA_HA_HA_HA!

Actually, I went out to China Town's Ocean City Restaurant late last night, where they were celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, and connected with many old friends from my days of gigging there. The incredible arranger/keyboardist Alan Cai, and music Friend Don Zuniga as well. Also I ran into Miho Takekawa, who told me she used to be an avid follower of this blog, and said she wished I still did the blog and listed the world music gigs around Seattle.

I had no idea - people were apparently paying attention! Miho has inspired me to get back in the loop! So PLEASE - WORLD MUSICIANS in SEATTLE - friend me on my Facebook page and invite me to your shows and events! That's my primary source for the listings here. Otherwise, email me at yogismusic@gmail.com. Also ask me about the Seattle Jazz scene meetup to post your jazz gigs there.

I am limiting it to world music and world fusion music here. I know many of you have great blues bands, r&b bands, reggae bands, and rock bands (I myself play in some of them), but here is for world music and world fusion. Thanks!

ALSO - check the FEATURED BAND link on the right - currently it's Tor Dietrichson's Global Village. Tor's impressive musical resume goes back 4 decades, and he's still spearheading several projects around town. I have had the great pleasure of having Tor as a friend, and also as a guest performer at many of my shows. So be sure to catch up with him and his music!

OK here's the listings. This is of course by no means comprehensive or final. I am willing to add to this, so contact me. Usually, a week ahead or more is best, so people will have time to see it and plan to come to your show:
