Thankful for the opportunity to play a gig at the esteemed Chez Panisse with friends Joshi Marshall, Scott Foster and Al Marshall. Really enjoyed the food and meeting the owner Alice who was very nice and hospitable. Interesting to observe the community, culture and commitment to quality and efficiency at this place. Also with so much wood in the upstairs cafe the room had beautiful acoustics for music. I highly recommend this restaurant.Come to Local Edition 8/17 from 8-11pm to celebrate Azure's Birthday with drinks and live music. Deeply rooted in the Jazz and Blues tradition, Azure is an amazing human being that uses music as a vehicle for healing while utilizing her vocal talents to bring people together. Constantly living in the moment Azure uses music to shine wisdom, love and truth to those who are lost and need it most. Even in the face of the greatest adversity/hate love will always be the most powerful and Azure shares this message through her singing. Thank you to Local Edition, Jazz In the Neighborhood, sound engineer Lee Brenkman, my wife Jadma for making the promotional artwork and the Independent Musicians Alliance for helping make this event possible.
The performance is for members of the Battery and by private invite. Learn more about the Battery, its activities, societies, and membership at www.thebatterysf.com
Excited to play with my trio featuring Matt Clark and Bryan Bowman at the new Dawn Club in SF 7/26 from 8-12pm. For the past year this group has been meeting about once or twice a month for day time sessions/recording and in that time we have built a nice repertoire of tunes written by great composers such as Duke Pearson, Ray Brown, Henry Mancini and Phineas Newborn. Come celebrate our drummer Bryan’s birthday who we are very thankful to have still with us after a very scary near brush with death two years ago. Come celebrate life, love and music at the new reopening of this amazing historic venue. https://www.dawnclub.com/.../ollie-dudeks-jazz-odyssey-trio Photo taken after the gig taken by Darren Johnston who is back in the Bay Area after spending some time in Chicago. Darren sat in with us on trumpet and sounded great as usual.
