Free For All Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Wish I could be there. Have good gig! Quote
Michael Weiss Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Thanks Free For All (one of my alltime favorite records). We're looking forward to it. I hear it's a great venue. I'll keep a lookout for Organissimo. Edited October 7, 2005 by Michael Weiss Quote
Parkertown Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 Hi Michael, I just checked out your website. Very nicely laid out. Wow, the music is right up my alley! I'm gonna have to get me some. Good luck with your gigs... Quote
GregN Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 Just checked out your site, and audio, smokin'! If I weren't giggin' that night, I would without a doubt be there! This should be a great night of music. Greg Quote
Michael Weiss Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Posted October 10, 2005 Thanks Greg and Scott. I'll be on the lookout for Michigan organissimo.com members. Maybe I should set up a ticket giveaway? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 Michael, our daughter lives in the area and is always looking for "jazz" gigs to take her friends. I'll forward this thread and maybe you get 2 more tickets sold. Quote

But seriously, I'll spread the word to my Detroit friends (outside the board). And a ticket giveaway could be a nice gesture. Nicer if I were gettin' some, but ya know, it would still be cool. g Quote
Parkertown Posted October 11, 2005 Report Posted October 11, 2005 Michael, If you came to play in Denver, I'd definitely be there. Quote

Glad you're working. Gigs are good. But seriously, I'll spread the word to my Detroit friends (outside the board). And a ticket giveaway could be a nice gesture. Nicer if I were gettin' some, but ya know, it would still be cool. I believe the Detroit Symphony offers ticket giveaways through WDET and WEMU, but I was considerering a comp for that special organissimo.com poster. Michael, our daughter lives in the area and is always looking for "jazz" gigs to take her friends. I'll forward this thread and maybe you get 2 more tickets sold. That would be great. If she can attend be sure to tell her to say hello. If you came to play in Denver, I'd definitely be there. I played in Denver last year with the Vanguard Monday night band, but it was a private event. Greg Gisbert was on hand. (One of the best players to ever come out of Denver). Hope to get back there one of these days. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Any plans on playing in NYC? Quote
Michael Weiss Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) Any plans on playing in NYC? ← Whatever's in the calender is posted on my website itinerary page. I'll have a quartet at the Kitano Hotel in January with Steve Wilson. Edited October 12, 2005 by Michael Weiss Quote
Michael Weiss Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Posted October 19, 2005 I've got one comp ticket for the first lucky Organissimo member to contact me in the next 48 hours. Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 I've got one comp ticket for the first lucky Organissimo member to contact me in the next 48 hours. ← Maybe if you expand the pool of applicants beyond Joe, Jim & Randy you'll get more nibbles! Quote

Michael Weiss Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Posted October 24, 2005 How was the show??? ← You should know better than to ask the performer. But, in a word...nice. Went over to Baker's afterwards. Soulful. Quote

Soulful. ← "You should know better than to ask the performer." Yeah, I know. One's own worst critic. I am sure it was smokin'. "Went over to Baker's afterwards. Soulful." Baker's is a gem. Did you meet John Colbert? He is the owner and a very cool guy. organissimo is recording there this weekend, btw. g Quote
