Bright Moments Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 the van dyke on lincoln road will fill the bill. arturo's place has closed. Quote
Shrdlu Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Don't miss Sammy Spear and his Orchestra. Quote
robviti Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) as far as van dyke's goes, featured performers' descriptions that include "smooth jazz,""high-energy world fusion," and "soulful and sophisticated tone with music that is contemporary and fresh" don't sound very promising to me.

bertrand Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 My instinct would tell me to stay away from any joint owned by that hack Arturo Sandoval. Quote

The reality is that Sandoval's club brought in far and away the best talent to visit south Florida outside of the one-offs that are booked by the handful of Jazz "societies" that exist. Quote
marcello Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Right, Dan. It was book by a guy ( whose name I can't remember) who was based in Boston, if I remember right. Jazz is a tough business proposition. Quote
Bright Moments Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 van dyke has all types of jazz - you just have to check who is there on any given night. also the jazz roots series is at the arsht center. this month chic corea, john mclaughlin with christian mcbride, brian blades and someone else (cant recall atm) is here at the end of march.

robviti Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 i wonder if my brother would be better off seeing some good latin music? Quote
Free For All Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Is that place still in Ft. Lauderdale- I believe it was called the Musician's Exchange? Quote

Nope, but I found the information, for what it's worth: Frank Vardaros Talent Buyer For Bookings and Public Relations 305.394.8266 1209 Saxon Blvd, Suite 7, Orange City, FL 32763 Quote

I got big eyes for anything Latino. Why else would an inveterate reed player go out and buy some bongos, a cowbell and a temple block, hee hee. One of the delights of house is that you often get Latino rhythms, such as samba, tango and bossa nova, and they regularly use Latin percussion. There is even a song called "I Need More Cowbell".
