Steamers in Fullerton announces July lineup

TONITE JULY 12 8P-MID

NO COVER,

THE DAN ST. MARSEILLE QUARTET

A fine, cool-toned tenor saxophonist, Dan St. Marseille comes from a musical family
in which his father sang opera, his great-uncle played clarinet, and his grandfather
was a violinist. St. Marseille grew up in El Toro and has been a steady fixture
in the Los Angeles and Orange Counties since the late '80s. He founded and has run
Resurgent Music, a label that has not only released his own music since 1992, but
also that of other top Los Angeles-based jazz players. Featured with Dan will be
Chris Dawson on piano, Chris Colangelo on bass and Thomas White on drums.

8P-MID NO COVER

"NUTTY" JAZZ FOR JETSETTERS

These cats are NUTTY: Sonny Moon (Joel Hile) - Voice
Guy Wonder (Mike Werner) - Bass Dan Spector - Piano
Edmund Velasco - Tenor/Alto Sax, Flute Phil Moore - Bari Sax/Flut Tim Gill - Trumpet
Darryl Grama - Drums Chris Williams - Percussion Welcome to the world of Nutty,
where eight jetsetter jazzniks stroll among the pop/rock archives, serving up a
martini mix of straight-ahead, big band swing, Latin, crime jazz/spy jazz, film/TV
themes and bop to create the ultimate in classic jazz re-interpretations of modern
standards. It's the ultimate jazz cocktail. On stage, it's a Rat Pack, bachelor
pad vibe, right down to the black suits, skinny ties and old school, irreverent
wit. And when the fiddlers have fled, the music stays in your head. Come for the
funny, stay for the music. Combining the talents of L.A. and Orange County jazz
top cats, some of whom you've seen in their own projects here at Steamers, Nutty
brings you a tight, hard-swingin' collective with a contagious sense of humor.
"Hats off to (Nutty) for swinging out on songs that probably didn't know they could
bend that way (like a fat guy in his first yoga class)! Without question, I'll
also give appreciative credit to whoever conceives these new arrangements. A purist
might want to hide under the bed, but anyone who appreciates the fusion of ideas,
style and lounge culture completely out of control must buy this album." Frankie
Hagan (Dance Frankie), Retro Radar For the jazz enthusiast--or even the jazz purist--the
arrangements are sharp and valid, as they pay homage to jazz greats like Brubeck,
Dizzy, Coltrane, Mi

THE CHRIS WILLIAMS SEXTET

Returning again for a performance at Steamers this Friday night is the Chris Williams
Quartet. Its leader, vocalist Williams who is originally from Canada, has been
singing jazz professionally since he was fifteen. He began by singing gospel in
his father's church as a young boy. Since then he has gone on to win four solo
vocal awards at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, and a major scholarship to Berklee
College of Music. Since his arrival in southern California, this 27 year old sensation
has impressed audiences with his intense passion and musical maturity. Joining
this talented young artist are Dr Scott Tibbs on piano, David Miller on bass,
Grant Childers on drums, Mike Bennett on percussion, Andrew Carney on trumpet and
Edmund Velasco on saxes.

their appearances and recordings with Poncho Sanchez. Their loyal fans know that
these talented artists are rapidly creating their own fame leading their own band.
Says LA Times jazz critic, Bill Kohlhaase, they "definitely have their own thing
going with a stronger emphasis on jazz tunes. [The band] promises to make a unique
contribution to the area's Latin jazz scene." Hear that promise kept when the Bandas
light up a night at Steamers!

LATIN JAZ BAND

SAT, JULY 16 8:30P-1A $8 THE FRANCISCO AGUABELLA LATIN JAZZ BAND "THE LEGEND LIVES

He was one of the greatest Jazz artists, a master of the bata drums and congas.
This is a tremendous loss for all that know of Francisco and his music. Francisco
and his family are in our thoughts and prayers." The family has asked that Francisco's
legacy will live on by continuing to present his hundreds of compositions carried
on by his touring band. At Steamers, we proudly featured Francisco monthly for the
last 14 years of his life. It was his home base, and we will continue to bring his
music to you monthly. Benn Clatworthy will be the musical director, with longtime
friend and fellow Cuban conguero, Nengue Hernandez taking the role of playing conguera
and bata. Along with Jeff Goodkind on piano, Brian Wright on bass, Arturo Velasco
on trombone, Jorge Carbonell on drums and Sal Cracchiolo on trumpet, the band has
made a pledge to feature only Francisco's music, including performing never before
released compositions live on stage!! Please help support this cause by attending
and helping carry the torch.." Terence Love-Steamers
