| Louis Armstrong Birthday Tribute Saturday, August 7th @ 8pm Tony Starlight's Supper Club and Lounge www.tonystarlight.com 3728 NE Sandy Blvd Portland, OR $12 Arranged and Conducted by Gavin Bondy of Pink Martini ...Fresh from a European tour, Pink Martini trumpeter Gavin Bondy leads an all-star-studded cast of characters in a birthday tribute to the King of Jazz. Come experience the joy and soul of Louis Armstrong with vocals by Ken DeRouchie, Chris Mayther, Mel Kubik, and Tony Starlight; Earl "Fatha" Hines piano of David Lee; and the Shanghai Woolies! While Louis Armstrong tributes often focus on music from late in his career, this night, we will play much from his early years, featuring original details in such a way as to expose the energy, and variety of color, texture, and mood. Come hear killin' Earl Fatha Hines piano from David Lee, smokin' R&B vocals from Ken DeRouchie and Chris Mayther, sassy pop/jazz stylings of Mel Kubik, and the beautiful hilariousness of Tony Starlight, all with the Shanghai Woolies.
