TOBAJ


Tobáj is an international Latin/Jazz singer, guitarist, songwriter, and recording artist who lives in Portland, Oregon (USA). Tobáj has performed internationally in Spain, Mexico, Japan and the Caribbean, as well as on the West Coast, Hawaii and Alaska. He has also been featured on many radio and television programs in the U.S. and abroad.
Tobáj performs solo with guitar, with small jazz ensembles, and with larger jazz and Latin bands. His most recent CD - self titled, "Tobáj", received a review in the August 2005 issue of JAZZIZ MAGAZINE that reads: "Tobáj (Tobáj Music) - The Portland-based singer/guitarist blends easy and romantic vocals in Spanish and English with spirited acoustic accompaniment that tackles numerous genres, from flamenco to samba. The smoldering seduction is broken up, joyously, by the Santana-like electric fire of "Sensacional." Tobáj is also an accomplished "straight ahead standard-jazz" singer - specializing in vocal improvisation (scat singing).
Many have said, "A Latin Grammy waiting to happen." When performing in the Portland area, Tobáj draws from a wide variety of some of the most accomplished and well-known jazz musicians in the Northwest. Many of these musicians are featured on his new CD, such as Patrick Lamb (Sax), Jay "Bird" Koder (Electric Guitar), Jim Fischer (Keys and Piano), Sandin Wilson (Bass), Paul Mazzio (Trumpet and Flugelhorn), Toshi Onizuka (Flamenco Guitar), Caton Lyles (Percussion) and more! Tobáj is an all around entertainer who brings a high level of energy and professionalism to all his performances.

SANDY DENNISON AT BEAUMONT


Jazz vocalist Sandy Dennison presents her second CD interpreting thirteen standards freshly “jazzed” up and packaged in a very special album simply titled Jazzed! Possessing unique vocals with a tender almost raspy quality to her sound, Dennison’s softer phrasings serve to separate her from the pack in creating an identity all her own. She employs this authentic sound in providing a new approach to the great selection of standards, some of which do not get the attention they deserve.
Location: Saturday, January 24th 2009: from 7:00 to 10:00 PM.

Arneis is a unique dry white wine that perfectly represents the Ponzi Family's commitment to innovation and discovery. Upon being introduced to Arneis during one of their many trips to visit the Currado Family of Italy's Vietti Winery, Dick and Nancy were delighted by the wine's lovely flavors and balance. They quickly returned to Oregon's Willamette Valley to plant their first Arneis in 1991 - and became one of just three Arneis producers in the United States.The grapes are whole cluster pressed and cool fermented in stainless steel and French oak barrels, depending on the vintage.2007 Ponzi Arneis
Here's some happy gushing from Maria Ponzi Fogelstrom, the company's sales maestro: This is an incredible honor for our family, as we are all huge Obama fans.
Alice Waters has claimed Ponzi Arneis as one of her most cherished wines. It must be true! What a thrill to have our wine enjoyed at such a memorable time in our country's history.

JOHN & YUKO


John and Yuko originally met in New York City in summer 2000, and soon after that began to play as a guitar and vocal duo in Greenwich Village.
Their repertoire has been expanded since those first days as a team, but from the beginning one of their goals has been to provide the right blend of jazz, bossa nova, and Japanese and American classic pop.

KACY COLLEEN & GREG GOEBEL



After a 5 year stint studying and working in LA, Colleen returned to Portland and formed a voice/guitar duo called “Nouveau 2” and recorded Sojourn, a compilation of guitar/vocal duets. Eventually, Kacy dropped the name “Nouveau 2” and expanded the instrumentation of the group, often including flute or saxophone.
Kacy’s second recording, “You Were Meant For Me” is a collection of favorite tunes performed in an array of instrumentation, from duo to sextet.
In addition to recording and performing, Kacy Colleen created “Jazz Notes,” a special feature for local jazz station, KMHD. Colleen researched, recorded and produced a series of audio “portraits” of some of the greatest jazz artists.
Over the years her concerts have included a promotional tour of California, the Portland Mayor’s Ball, the Mt. Hood Festival of Jazz, North by Northwest, and performances at many of the Northwest’s best jazz venues. She has continued to build listener support with favorable press, radio airplay, her mailings and sales of the recordings.

Greg Goebel was born in Oregon and began playing and composing music from an early age. Upon graduation from the University of Oregon, where he studied with Gary Versace, Randy Porter and Steve Owen, the school said of his achievements, "Greg has personally done more to elevate the performance level of our jazz students than any other person, graduate or undergraduate, who has attended the UofO in at least the last fifteen years." While at the University of Oregon Greg recieved an award in Downbeat Magazine for Outstanding Original Composition.
Greg then moved to Portland, OR where he has quickly become one of the most in demand pianists in the area. His musical style, rich with subtle complexities and harmonic surprises make him a distinct voice among jazz pianists today.
Greg has recorded and toured with renowned bassist David Friesen and is a current member of the David Friesen Trio.
In addition to keeping a busy schedule in Portland, Greg has had the pleasure of performing with notable musicians such as John Handy, Dick Oatts, Bob Magnusson, Terrell Stafford, Peter Epstein, Alan Jones, Rebecca Kilgore, Gary Hobbs, Ron Steen and John Gross.
