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
Saturday Oct 20 9pm-11pm
LUCID on the Ave
5241 University Way Northeast Seattle, WA

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:

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!
