Hello, Jazz Fan,
The excitement level builds for the return appearance of one of the premier vocalists of the Northwest -- Gail Pettis. It has been almost four years since Gail shared her gifted voice at Jazz LIVE at Marine View. What a treat to have her front a superbly-talented quintet at the same time!
A reminder: we take the month of August off (from jazz concerts, that is!). So you will definitely want to make plans to spend your late afternoon / early evening this Sunday with us, enjoying one of the highlights of this concert season.
While you're at it, bring a friend, or two, or three! Simply forward this email (see below). Somehow, it's a "secret" still to lots of music-lovers out there!
See you Sunday at 5:00 PM.
Jim

In the early 2000s Gail Pettis ( www.gailpettis.com ) made the transition from a successful two-decade-plus orthodontist career to a music career that emphasizes a natural, effortless vocal quality and unique interpretations of timeless classics. Her alto voice is gentle yet persuasive and her interaction with her supporting cast of first-call musicians is seamless. Her latest CD, Here In The Moment, has drawn rave reviews and substantial airplay as the "late-bloomer" continues to make her mark on vocal jazz. Appearing with her are long-time collaborators Darin Clendenin on piano, Larry Holloway on bass and Mark Ivester on drums, as well as special guest Marshall McDonald (lead alto saxophonist in the Count Basie Band) on saxophone, clarinet and flute. Don't miss vocal and instrumental jazz at its best.
