MAY 26, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILES DAVIS, TODAY... with the perfect question:

Mike Winkle performance 5/27/11 at Arrivederci

> Dear Music Lovers,

> Please join me at Arrivederci on Friday May 27th from 7:30-10:30. I will be performing with a great group featuring guitarist Chuck Everett, Matthew Lotz on piano and Marty Higgins on drums. We draw heavily from the "Great American Songbook" but venture into quite a few other genres when the mood strikes. This group has played together off and on for years and I am proud to be associated with these great musicians.

> Arrivederci is quickly becoming one of the Portland area's favorite live music venues. Very casual, intimate and just a great space for listening to live music. Excellent wine selection, food and ambiance. Reservations are recommended.

Adderleys. Jive Samba. Become a member.

Here's a two chord wonder. Chord changes for Nat Adderly's Jive Samba. The reason this samba is jive, is that in the first five beats of the Bb7 chords, Adderly uses the riff that was used to mark the punch lines of jokes on the Rowan And Martin Laugh-In comedy program that was on American TV around the time this tune was written.

BENNY GOLSON...
FROM NPR MUSIC... Shortly after his arrival in New York, Golson was one of 57 jazz greats asked to pose at a mass photo shoot for anEsquire magazine feature. The famous Art Kane photo from 1958, known as "Great Day in Harlem" or simply "Harlem 1958," places Golson alongside Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Thelonius Monk and a host of other musicians.

The historic photo and Benny Golson both got renewed attention, due to their roles in the Steven Spielberg movie The Terminal. The film's subplot includes Tom Hanks' character's autograph hunt for all who were in the photo — including Golson, who makes a brief appearance on screen... MORE from NPR..

“When I found out there was going to be this big meeting for a picture in Esquire,” Dizzy Gillespie recalled, “I said to myself, ‘Here’s my chance to see all these musicians without going to a funeral.’”

The subjects caught in Kane’s lens spanned the stylistic range from New Orleans to Chicago to Swing to Bebop to Modern. The oldest, Harlem stride pianist Luckey Roberts, was 71.
