Pete has a monthly gig at
Tony Starlight's Supperclub and Lounge. Last Thursday
Johnny Martin joined the
Pete Petersen Septet as part of the Sinatrafest celebration running for the rest of the month at Tony Starlight's. This was a real treat. They opened with "Come Fly with Me", "Fly Me to the Moon" and "One for My Baby". I loved the songs and the support by Pete's talented and energetic septet. You can tell when a band is engaged and this one really swung! Many of the songs in the first set were taken from Count Basie's "Live at the Sands" LP.
In the second set, Johnny performed "It Was a Very Good Year"; you need to go hear him just to catch this tune. Trust me on this. Another high point of the second set was an instrumental version of "Makin' Whoopee" with inspired solos by Stan Bock (told you this was a talented band) and pianist Greg Goebel.
If you like the music of Frank Sinatra, check out Tony Starlight's events calendar; there are a number of Sinatra inspired shows this month. Next up - Javon Jackson at Jimmy Mak's on Wednesday - see you there!
