A Hectic 2 Weeks

I’ve been so busy with all my entertainment events that I haven’t had time to let you know what you’ve been missing. I think I’ll work backwards staring with last night. Spending Sunday night at the Suncoast showroom thoroughly enjoying Bill Fayne’s wonderful production of “Rogers and Hart and Hammerstein too!” What great talent Bill put together. No one writes lyrics like that anymore. What a shame. Bill, take that show to the SmithCenter, you’ve got my support.

Saturday night we were at the SmithCenter to see La Cage. What an enjoyable and delightful evening.

Friday night, which I still can remember, started with Frankie Moreno rockin out the place. He never ceases to amaze me. The horns, the strings, the rhythm section and of course the new addition “The Dancer”. Spend the couple of bucks and head to the Stratosphere to catch his show. Well the night wasn’t over yet. Actually it was just getting started. David Perrico was burning down the Palms with his 18 piece band featuring Naomi Mauro on vocals. The band consisted of so many top name players that if I started to mention them all, the next time he played there, you’d have to get tickets days in advance. Plus I know I’d forget someone. Don’t miss him the next time he plays anywhere.

Thursday of course was my “Jazz in Summerlin” series at the Blue Fire. Wednesday was Rosanna Telford “The Latin Song Bird” also at the Blue Fire Supper Club. And Tuesday was Skip Martin and Friends, guess where, at the Blue Fire. Something must be happening at the Blue Fire. Stay tuned to my blog/calendar and facebook, to find out what’s going on there. Monday was Diana Krall at the SmithCenter. Sunday dinner at a friends. Saturday was a smashing 50th wedding anniversary party at Bali Hi Country Club with entertainment by Kelly Clinton, Ronnie Rose and a kick ass band. Friday was Rob Garrett’s Neil Diamond tribute show. (Terrific). Then Thursday, Wednesday and Tuesday, my events at the Blue Fire. Wow, I did all that and played some golf in-between.

Well, I’m not going to spell check or highlight anything, just post it. And by the way, a new look is coming to my blog. When it hits, you’ll know.

Evan Davis Jazz presents Skip Martin and Friends…Bringing Great Live Music to the West Side of Town (Every Tuesday)

Make your Reservations Early by calling the Blue Fire at 462-5400 or email me, Evan Davis, at Evan@EvanDavisJazz.com   

It is sure to be a sold out house with standing room only.

 Positive and passionate about life, is the best way of describing Grammy Award winner Skip Martin – lead vocalist, trumpet player, songwriter, artist and producer…

Originally from the Bay Area, California and now based in Las Vegas, Skip has a string of impressive professional achievements and performances to his name.

To date Skip has entertained millions of people around the world as a former lead vocalist for Kool & the Gang and lead vocalist for the Dazz Band, (which won them a Grammy Award for the song “Let It Whip”).

Other achievements include Platinum & Gold Records recipient with the two major recording groups, a total of twenty-seven albums (seven with Kool & the Gang and fourteen with The Dazz Band), music publisher, producer of both pop, R&B and jazz albums to name a few.

His tenor voice has a warm eclectic style developed through the years under the guise of maestro Stevie Wonder. Skip lists Miles Davis, Sammy Davis and Donny Hathaway as major influences on his musical development. And let’s not forget his horn playing.
