Dear Music Lovers,
Thank you for visiting my site! Looking forward to an active and fun 2025. My quartet Conversation continues to gain traction, and on the regular rotation for the better Jazz clubs in the Portland area! We are currently presenting three distinct shows, highlighting the music of some our favorite artists, all presented as Jazz. We would love to see you at one or more of these shows.
"A Conversation With The Beatles". Our favorite Beatle songs reharmonized, arranged and presented as Jazz!
"A Conversation With The G.O.A.T.S". A tribute to the artists whom we believe are worthy of the designation, greatest of all time! Sinatra to Joni Mitchell and many in between.
"The British Are Coming!" Jazz takes on the music of the British Bands who took America and the world by storm in the 60’s. Beatles to Cream. Groovy stuff!
Conversation has been together for about four years now and has developed a unique sound and style. The band has performed at the prestigious Lake Chelan Jazz Festival three year running and will be performing for the first time at the PDX Jazz Festival in February.
Bass & Face is still going strong and continues to play on a regular basis at a few venues that seem to enjoy and get what we do. Great music, stripped to it’s essence of melody, rhythm and lyric. Unique, spontaneous and fun!
