Two Great Shows

Just got back from Montreal - I played at Montreal Jazz Festival with Nobuki Takamen Group on July 3rd. It was a very special experience and I'm really grateful that I was able to be a part of such a prestigious jazz festival!

The band welcomed back Hitoshi Kanda, the pianist; who - unfortunately for us - went back to Japan in spring; who joined us again for this special occasion. What a treat - what a great reunion it was!

I've got some nice gigs coming up, but I'd like to mention two very special shows at this point.

1. Yutaka Uchida Quartet at Cleopatra's Needle!
The quartet is back in Cleo's on Saturday, July 11th, 8PM! We'll play three sets of my original music, old and new, for FREE!
Enjoy a night of great music, tasty Mediterranean cuisine and special martinis!

2. Nobuki Takamen Group at Iridium Jazz Club!
Hitoshi Kanda will join us once again and the quartet will hit the world famous Iridium Jazz Club on Wednesday, July 15th, 7PM!
Now here's the thing: Nobuki has to achieve some obligatory advance ticket ($25) sales and you can help out! If you decide to come to Iridium show, please contact Nobuki via email: info@nobukitakamen.com and purchase a ticket directly from him. This way you can help him, and also save yourself some money because it'll be tax free.
If you personally know me, you can also pay me the money and your name will be on the list.

I seriously recommend both shows to any music lovers!

Hope to see you there!
