Hi,
I'm in Beaverton. I've heard of Pink Martini, but have not heard their music. Where and when is your concert, that I might attend?

The trumpet player for Pink Martini is Gavin Bondy. He also plays/leads a local band called the Woolies.

I saw the Woolies live at the Vancouver Wine and Jazz Fest last year (the act before Arturo played!). As I understand it, Gavin composes the Woolies music. The best I can describe it would be Duke Ellington on steroids, its great stuff. Gavin also played Harry James Trumpet Concerto is really a great player. Check them out if you can. You won't regret it. There is a calendar on their page.

Gavin was last seen playing on Marcinkiewicz horns.

later,
Rob
