Jazz in The Georgian, October 19-20, 2012

This past weekend at Jazz in Georgian in The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, we had a mini jazz guitar fest: Ron Peters and Milo Petersen.

 On Friday night guitarist Ron Peters made his debut in The Georgian with me.  Ron has lived in Seattle since 1994.  At one point in the late seventies, he played guitar with super vocal jazz group Manhattan Transfer.  Here is a video from our session of a jazz blues tune called Tenor Madness.





Last Saturday night superb jazz musician Milo Petersen played guitar.  Milo has been a regular of Jazz in The Georgian for the past several years.  A multi-instrumentalist on guitar and as well as drums, he is one of those rare individuals that can play both instruments equally well and at a high level of professionalism and accomplishment.  Milo frequently plays at Jazz Alley whenever the legendary jazz blues singer and pianist Mose Allison comes through town whom he has played drums for over 12 years.  Milo is a jazz musician steeped in reverence for those who laid the foundation and roots of jazz music.  His playing is a passionate expression of such tradition.  Here is a video of a Miles Davis tune called Solar.
