Jimmy Z Trio
Well sort of.
This Friday July 18th I will be filling in at Sangria's in Lowell for the Mike Valeras Group (who's birthday is today, Happy Birthday Sucko!!!!)
I believe I will be joined by Ervin Dhimo on bass, and a drummer to be named later.
Eclectic, experimental, improvisational, yet accessible music from 6 - 9. It's a great location, a great venue, great acoustics, and a great staff. All we need now is all you great people!.
Hope to see you there!

Ervin Dhimo is a MONSTER player, I got to see him with Mikey a few weeks back and Ervin even came to my gig at Linda's recently which was very cool yet very humbling b/c Gary Smekel was also in the room so I felt like a child playing with power toys.
No plans for Friday yet, this might be interesting...
7/16/2008 1:08:13 PM
Mikey V happy birthday, you're as old as the Gods...
7/16/2008 1:09:28 PM
Power toys?
what the f*ck is wrong with you?
7/16/2008 1:24:39 PM
The gig is only 6 - 9, which means you start out at Sangrias, then go see some good music for the rest of the night!
Which I plan on doing.

Happy bday Mikey V ! (pom poms fly, fireworks go off, Tabernacle Choir begins to sing...)
And Swanee... on behalf of Ervin, thank you for the kind words. He had a GREAT time that night at Linda's, btw, and so did his brother. I have mentioned you a few times to him, so it was great that he finally got to meet you...
... even though you wore your floor sweepers that night :)
(LOL!)
Hope to see you on Friday, my bruthah...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!! Are you thirty yet????
7/16/2008 8:31:47 PM
I think Mike can legally rent a car now!!!

Thank you, thank you everyone! Go see Jimmy Z Trio Firday and support this type of music. Jim's badass as you all know but many of you have not heard him in this type of musical setting. Get ready!!
Then we'll both be back there on August 1st with the return of the full Mike Valeras Group. Can't wait.
7/17/2008 12:25:40 PM
Uh Mike....
What am I supposed to play tomorrow night?
7/17/2008 10:30:00 PM
You know I ask myself that same question 5 minutes before every gig there. That's the beauty of it. Anything you damn well please!!
7/17/2008 10:41:38 PM
Cool.
7/17/2008 10:51:22 PM
One last bump before I bump it again in a hour.
Tonight @ Sangrias
Jimmy Z Trio which is really the Mike Valeras Trio, without Mike Valeras.
6 - 9 on the main stage
Interesting, eclectic, exploratory, and at times eroti...I mean erratic.
Come listen to arrangements of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, The Beatles, Joe Zawinul, Jim Zaroulis (the other JZ), and, whatever one of us, including YOU, is thinking at the moment.
There will be no talking, no requests, no sarcasm, no banter, and most importantly...no Keytar.
I'm very much looking forward to this.
Hope to see you there.
Tonight....Sangrias from 6-9

7/18/2008 12:18:01 PM
