FRENCH CABARET

HEATHER KEIZUR & STEVE CHRISTOFFERSON


Whether singing in English or French, this dazzling vocalist projects the inner beauty of herself and the song she sings, straight to the heart of the listener. (Tom Grant, Pianist, Vocalist, Recording Artist, Producer)

Heather has the ability to captivate the audience with her voice. They are rapt, waiting for the next note. (Tony Starlight, Owner Tony Starlight's Supperclub & Lounge)
If I had to think of one word to describe Heather Keizur the musician, I would say 'passionate.' Passionate in her performance, passionate in her preparation for performance, and passionate about the material she presents.(Alan Tarpinian, Drummer, Classical Guitarist)

He's been described as "one of the Northwest's most inventive pianists," (Willamette Week) with "a deft, lyrical touch and fevered imagination." (Victoria Times-Colonist) His trio is "focused, a very cohesive group capable of exploring standards and lesser-known jazz pieces with a soul and drive that hearkens all the way back to Monk, Garner and Bud Powell." (Cadence Magazine) His originals are "among the best compositions you'll hear on the local scene," (Dan DePrez) and David Frishberg says "Steve gets a great sound and plays with real authority and impeccable taste...he's one of my favorite piano players."

Belly Dance is a Western term for a traditional Egyptian dance form. Some American devotees refer to it simply as Middle Eastern Dance. In the Egyptian Arabic language it is known as raqs sharqi or sometimes raqs baladi; literally dance of country, and so national or folk dance. The term belly dance is a creation of Orientalism, first used in English in 1899, and translating in French to danse du ventre.

TONY PACINI & KACY COLLEEN

TONY PACINI

The jazz piano artistry of Tony Pacini has been enthusiastically enjoyed by nightclub and festival audiences throughout the West coast as well as in his hometown of Portland, Oregon. Born in Tokyo, Japan (May, 1970), while his father, (a consumate musician) was on the road at the time; pianist Tony Pacini came to Portland, Oregon as an infant. Tony's exposure to music began at an early age, having the added benefits of growing up in a musical family including three uncles, two aunts and a father all of whom were experienced musicians. A piano student since age 5, Tony led his first trio as a teenager, holding down weekends at a popular jazz spot. The piano made higher education possible for Tony, including study at Boston's prestigious Berklee College Of Music, courtesy of a all-tuition paid scholarship from jazz critic Leonard Feather. Upon returning to Portland Tony immersed himself in the jazz scene performing with, most notably: Leroy Vinnegar, Bud Shank, Harry Allen, Ritchie Cole, Carl Saunders, Chuck Israels, Dan Faehnle, Claudio Roditi, Hadley Calliman, Mel Brown, Ron Steen, Nancy King and Rebecca Kilgore. In addition to leading the Tony Pacini Trio, Tony Pacini is the pianist and musical director of the Mel Brown Quartet as well as producer of the Mel Brown Quartet's new hit release, "Live: An Evening With The Mel Brown Quartet".

KACY COLLEEN

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.

TASTING BOURGOGNE

DOMAINE DROUHIN
- Macon Village 2006 Chardonnay:

Mâcon-Villages is a flowery, fruity wine with a clear and brilliant hue. It has a crisp, medium body and a clean, lean acidity. Very pleasant finish.As with other white wines, Mâcon-Villages should be served chilled but not cold. It is meant to be enjoyed in its youth within 2 years. By itself as an aperitif. Easy to match with food, it will be best with white meat dishes or sea food.It is a perfect accompaniment to full flavored fish dishes and charcuterie.

- Laforêt 2006 Pinot Noir:
The hue has a brilliant ruby-garnet color. The nose offers effusive aromas of crushed berries (raspberry, redcurrant, andblackcurrant come to mind). On the palate, the wine is full of charm and very pleasant to drink : fresh and fruity berry flavors with light and elegant tannins. Drink young, up to two or three years. We recommend to serve the Laforêt at 15°-16°C (61F). Easy to match with food, it will be best with assorted delicatessen, poultry, white meat, "au gratin" dishes, roasted meat and soft cheeses.

ITALIA WINE TASTING WITH SMALL VINEYARDS

2006 Tre Donne Arneis

Becoming increasingly important in Europe, Roero Arneis is a wine that seemingly satisfies everyone. It is crisp and clean, with a terrific cleanliness that delights the palate of white wine lovers, but as this is Arneis, the mouth-feel is full and lush, even without oak. So much so, in fact it is called il Barolo Bianco (the white Barolo) by its many admirers, because of its surprising weight and satisfaction in the mouth. A very rare grape, it nearly became extinct thirty years ago, but today it is thriving, and happily so. Blushing with fresh grass, flowers, and ripe pear, Tre Donne has done it again, as this wine has won numerous awards in Europe. 2500 cases produced.

2007 Perazzeta 'Sara' Bianco

If there is such thing as a Super-Tuscan white wine, Alessandro Bocci's counterpart to the wildly successful Sara Sangiovese would certainly qualify. Made from a fascinating blend of two classic Tuscan varietals -- Trebbiano and Malvasia, and two classic French varietals -- Chardonnay and Sauvignon, each of the four wines are vinified separately, then blended slowly to test their integration at each step. Graced with aromas of lemon zest, sage, a touch of mango and dried pineapple, Sara Bianco delivers delightfully heady complexity, no meditation required. Just 250 cases made. 2006 Forte Canto Salice SalentinoFrom 38 year-old master winemaker Massimiliano Apollonio comes this stunning Salice Salentino from Forte Canto. Massimiliano believes that Negroamaro is Puglia's most important varietal, and it showcases dynamically in this delicious value from Italy's deep south. Dusty plum, black cherry, and wild coriander aromas emanate from the glass, and somehow remind one of the warm, scented North African trade winds that reach the Salento peninsula from the Mediterranean. Made from younger vines than his decadent Terre del Grico Salice, this is a fresh, lovely wine that will pair well with robust, spicy meats and seafoods.

2006 Perazzeta 'Sara' Sangiovese

Alessandro Bocci, owner and winemaker at Perazzeta, is in our opinion, making some of the best wines in all of Tuscany right now. Located in Montecucco just south of Montalcino, his wines have tremendous power, tension, and assertive terroir. Bright, stinging cherry, crisp acidity, and tantalizing earth tones make this pretty, yet interesting wine hard to resist. The everyday wine of the estate, 'Sara' is named after his teenage daughter, and is a tremenous follow-up to his wildly popular 'Rita' (named after his wife). 1000 cases produced.
