Upcoming Jazz Events: Jim D'Amboise Trio featuring Mike Murphy, drums and Kyle Dipeitro, bass at the Dogfish Bar and Grille. Friday January 13 2012. 8pm to 10pm
Hi Folks, Blues is in the news. My latest project will contain lots of it and feature members from some great Maine blues bands. I have been collaborating with B3 player Mark Napoleone (The Tone Kings, Mark Miller, Pam Baker), drummer Mike Murphy (Red Light Revue, Dani Tribesman) and Look for gigs starting early in 1212.
Portland guitarist Jim D'Amboise (Medicine Hat, Rockin Vibration,) is also currently collaborating with drummer Bill Mead and bassist Kyle Dipeitro (Freudian Slip). Both are New York transplants. The results have been some truly amazing music. The trio is augmented with some of the best keyboard and saxophone players in the southern Maine. Be sure to check out the gigs page for upcoming events. We will be performing songs from Sonic Arcade and a variety of funky jazz tunes. These phenomenal musicians are not to be missed........
.................the next trio gig is Friday January 13th at the Dogfish Bar and Grille. Portland
There are some outtakes of the group captured Live Jan 2011 ..... visit the media page to listen.
