LOS ANGELES: CHAMBERS, HERBERT, & ELLIS AT THE GARDENIA
Pierre Chambers, Lisa Herbert, and Mitch Ellis will perform at THE GARDENIA(7066 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA - 323-467-7444) on Friday & Saturday, June 20th & 21st at 9:00 pm. The vocal trio have struck a mother lode of unique and exhilarating musical material through exhuming, creatively re-working, and re-inventing works of legendary jazz artists through the nearly lost art of "vocalese": assigning what would generally be considered instrumental riffs to the human voice. Creating an impact reminiscent of The Manhattan Transfer, the group's repertoire pays homage to the vocal treatments of Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross, many of which were themselves based on Ellington or Basie big band arrangements. Their popularity continues to increase as word of mouth spreads, and the "buzz" surrounding them is well-deserved. If you have yet to experience the musical excitement this unique trio consistently generates, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better time or a better place. Call for cover/minimum information.

SAN FRANCISCO: TOMMY & THE HIGH PILOTS AT YOSHI'S
Tommy and the High Pilots, plus Will Weston will perform aYOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Friday, June 20th at 10:30 pm. In Southern California, all is not as it seems. And this band, which hails from Santa Barbara, isn't making the breezy music expected to come out of a seaside town. Tommy and the High Pilots is a group of friends who have known each other for years and finally formed a band. Tommy Cantillon and his brother Michael (keys) have been playing and singing together their whole lives. Steve Libby (bass) has been a friend for over a decade. And Tommy met Matt Palermo (drums) when their previous bands crossed paths on the road years ago. Will Weston was exported with a box of pineapple from the tropics of Hawaii to forge a second home in San Francisco. His debut album, Quiet, Sirens, transposes the heartbeat of this foggy metropolis via lush guitar hooks, infectious melodies, and a healthy excess of handclaps. Half city-inspired funk, half extraterrestrial field guide to earthbound nomadism with a side of straight blues, Weston's kinetic collection of feel-good bone-rattlers raises pulses, eyebrows, and shot glasses. Backed now by a tight & talented rhythm section of the city's finest in Dan Manian, (bass) Anthony Petrocchi, (drums) Erik Strom, (guitar) and Brandon Jackson, (trumpet) Weston's quintet brings an electric dosage of rooftop-inspired melodies, a response to the sighing bus pistons and traffic tides, an intersection all his own. Open dance floor. There is a $10 cover.
