Friday Night at Jimmy Mak’s!

Posted on | May 6, 2010 | 1 Comment

I’m excited to be repeating a great double-bill over at Jimmy Mak’s.  Last February my Kora Band opened for Ben Darwish‘s last CD release party, with his Trio, during the Portland Jazz Festival, and it was really a great time.  Tomorrow night we’re at it again, opening for his new quartet (the “Ben Darwish Group”)’s EP Release.  They’ve recorded a really nice 5-track EP which you can check out, buy, and stream here, and we’re happy to be sharing the bill with them!

We’re just about to head into Two Sticks studio in Seattle to record our second album (our first, Just 4 U, came out in April of 09) with Don Gunn, our favorite engineer.  This one will be out in September on Origin Records, continuing my excellent relationship with them!

So, come out to Jimmy’s tomorrow night for this show if you’re in Portland, it’ll be a great one!  Reservations at 503-295-6542.

    Wow, Andrew! It seems like your career as a jazz musician is really doing well! I’m thrilled to hear that. Where can I find your new cd?
