Owners Min and Brandon Kim really know how to make musicians feel at home. From the first-class sound system (set up behind so you can hear yourselves) and piano to the elegant atmosphere and wonderful food, this is dream gig! Duo gets the chance to get some intimate and lively music going with a very engaged dinner audience. Come check us out!]]><![CDATA[Spenard JazzFest]]>Mon, 18 Jun 2012 19:36:18 GMThttp://aksaxojazz.weebly.com/lees-aksaxo-jazz-blog/spenard-jazzfestI don't think they knew what hit 'em, but we killed at the fest. Pat Owens & me on horns and fx, Kevin Barnett piano and synth, Karl Wilhelmi guitar, Bob Andrews bass, Bob Arms percussion, PJ Franco drums. Great collective improv that went some really cool places for our Clouds of Summer and A New Kind of Bird. Love to do more of that! ]]><![CDATA[June 02nd, 2012]]>Sun, 03 Jun 2012 04:07:31 GMThttp://aksaxojazz.weebly.com/lees-aksaxo-jazz-blog/june-02nd-2012Great time at the Relay for Life this beautiful Alaska afternoon.
