The Flutesonic Orchestra premieres new orchestrations at this concert of the Greystone Mansion Series. Enjoy what the string bass I’m playing brings to this ensemble of fine musicians as we bring a little bit of Jazz into the classical world. Our recording includes a Fred Selden arrangement of Bobby Timmons “Moanin'”.
Live broadcast on KUSC from 6-7 p.m. on August 16 as we feature our world class soloist David Shostac at the Bing Theater LACMA.
Recording at USC. CD’s available at the concert.
Flutes of all sizes combine with a bass clarinet, string bass (me!) and sometimes harpsichord or piano.
Attend the concert if you can. It’s free admission. Enjoy hearing the podcast broadcasting live and downloadable from KUSC.
At the Husdson Loft in DTLA we celebrate a wedding. One forward thinking bride loved my sound so much she requested me for her festivities before the full live band came on to really keep the party going. We had a wonderful time.
I love playing this song by Duke Ellington. I recorded it for Askew Too, it got radio play.
Yes this month, on the 25th to be exact, I get to complete one more trip around the sun as I ride on this terra firma we call Earth. Yeah for me and my wonderful girlfriends Sylvia Callender, Sally Peterson and Julie Bransky who are maybe 1 or 2 days away from me on a similar ride. Also a shout out to Michael Ankey another 7/26/b-day…We are making it!
I would love to invite my friends and fans to help me get this party started by visiting me at one of the 3 public gigs that are scheduled for that week end. Friday the 24th with Marguaret Love and the Lovettes at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in Long Beach, 9pm-1 am.
Blues Lovers Unite!!
In less than 24 hours of birthday celebration time I’ll be back on a bandstand with Doug Legacy and the Zydeco Party Band at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen Downtown Disney Saturday night from 7-11pm. On Sunday night the 26th it will be party time at Colombos in Eagle Rock 1833 Eagle Rock Blvd. 90041. There will be much to celebrate with Eric Ekstrand trio jazz. If you have any party left in you by Monday….the revelers will be out at Colombos Monday night jam including b-day girl Julie, Leslie + ???
All these places have great food for my hungry followers and revelers.
Doug Lacy leads the way
I love to play music with these groups and perform for you all. Please just support and enjoy the live music. You coming by with friends or on your own for dinner, drinks etc. would be a wonderful present, no other presents necessary……..because you know I’m all about that bass! Have you heard my version?
We Remember Marty is here under the Ranch Cabin Records tab especially for those who do remember and miss him.
I am certainly one. You’re invited to listen (at no charge) to a full album of Jazz standards in the piano bass drums trio format. Also please feel free to leave comments, stories, pictures having to do with pianist Marty Harris.
The Flutesonic Chamber Orchestra, winner of the national auditions Greystone Concert series presents their summer concert featuring David Shostac. We are a full range, beautiful and unique orchestra: Performing baroque concertos, modern, and romantic works with absolute precision and the joy of life and beauty that great music holds.
Feature Works: Vivaldi, Telemann, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky Korsakov, Joaquin Rodrigo and Benjamin Godard.
The Orchestra is mostly flutes of all sizes and ranges. I am the only regular member playing a string instrument! The bass section includes me on string bass with Nancy Newman on contrabass flute and Roger Greene on contrabass clarinet. Roger doubles on harpsichord. It’s the most unusual bass section I’ve ever been in.
Our group has won the 2015-2016 Greystone Concerts in the Mansions Series National Auditions. Stay tuned for more exciting events by this top notch group featuring soloist David Shostac conducted by Gordon Halligan.
